does it work for oven temp?

Yes, kind of - You would need to open the oven and point it at something inside. It will tell you the surface temperature quickly with pretty good accuracy. It you want to measure the oven air temperature, it's better to use a meat thermometer with the remote probe located inside the oven where the food would be placed.

It will work on oven surfaces...bottom plate..(between the heat source and racks) and on baking sheets. but it will not read the oven air temp...it beams through the air in the oven and will give you the temp of the oven floor or walls....hope this helps...it will do the same for fridge...it will give you the temp of food items and containers, but not the air in the fridge....but because food is usually in the fridge longer than things in the oven....reading temps of food items and food containers is pretty much the same as the air in the fridge compartments. hope this was of some help to you....

As most have said, you can get the temperature of the internal oven surface. I don't think you are asking this, but just in case you were wondering, you can't check the internal temperature of meat with this since it will only give you surface readings.

Just a thought Melinda....pretty much anything that stops the laser beam will read temp at that spot.

I have never used it to check oven temperature. I bought it to check the air temperature from the ac vent. It works fine. I would not say it's very accurate. I would accept + - 1 or 2 degree.

good tool , I like it and should people it special tech. work on air conditioner. easy to use and any time you need check the temp it' s there. auto turn off and easy carry.

Yes it can. I used it at work also to make sure the ovens were at exact temp.

It won't / can't read air temperature, but if you open the oven and point it at the rack or an oven wall, it will give you the surface temperature of that object.

I have no idea - but I imagine it would because it seems to resist very high heat - I believe I put it in my oven at 400 . . . but am not sure . . anyway, it is a very good product - I often will use it on top of stove to cook things that would be cooked normally in oven because it holds the heat so well. Great product - am very happy with it.

YES. I havent measured the temp. From mine at setting #4 it gives a steady temp for frying on a small pot.

No, worked perfectly. Do you have an oven thermometer? This mat is good for 480F and am wondering even if you set your oven for 425F it's really at a higher temperature.

No reason it shouldn't. Haven't used it on bread, however. It will measure the temperature at the tip.

I have used it on one. It works great since it can read very high temperatures. It can't measure air temperature directly, but the sides and floor of the oven.

Although I haven't tried it I believe it would work. But it would only measure the surface temp of the food. Not the interior temp.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

Yes, it should because the directions say that it's oven safe to 500 degrees. I haven't actually used it in the oven yet.

Dear Terri,Thank you for your inquiry.Yes this is oven safe up to Temperature: 400° F.Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

Yes, you crack open the door to your oven, point the gun in, aiming away from the heating elements and pull the trigger. In one second it will tell you what the temperature is in your oven. It's great for checking your oven thermostat for accuracy.

It's called a temperature probe and no you cant stick it in the oven as my wife did. Yes it has a battery and plastic casing which makes it great for intermittent temp checks. Check how hot the faucet water, how cold the fridge is and mostly the temps of chicken, meat and fish !

Yes that should work. It works like a regular baking pan. Check it at 15 to twenty minute intervals to ensure proper cook time.

I've used it up to 400° and so far so good. I don't think there is anything on the packaging material that says anything about oven temp.

these devices detect ambient air and non reflective surface temperatures only. it should tell you the temperature of the interior oven surfaces. hope this helps.
