Does it give accurate oven Temperatures?

I haven't used it to take oven temps. However, I use it to make caramel, custard, hollandaise & other temp sensitive foods on the stove top. I also use it to grill. It is remarkably accurate. I would bet that it does well taking oven temps. Hope this helps.

Yes, quite accurate. Do be careful of certain reflective surfaces. But most surfaces are quite accurate. I tested it by pointing it at the wall beside my digital wall thermometer, and it matched to the degree!

It does, however, it doesn't have an adjustable emissivity setting like the Neiko does for measuring temperatures on different materials. It's about half the price, though, and accurate enough for measuring oven temperatures.

Adequate to serve my temperature degree of accuracy. Of course can not determine inner temperature of item's just removed from oven. However if sliced it will determine that temperature.

Frankly, I wouldn't. I've used this one for many years in the oven and recommend it for that purpose, but it's not 100% accurate and not as sensitive as an alcohol-based glass thermometer for example. For something like cheese-making where a few degrees make a difference, I'd stick with a thermometer with a narrower, but more precise, range.

Yes, but be aware that it only measures temperature when you ask it to (from the app). It doesn't monitor conditions continuously.

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I bought it for my deep fry pan but I have not used this thermometer yet. I have not even tested if this thermometer is accurate or not. Sorry.

Yes. I set the oven to 375. The top reached about 180 deg. The left side was about 20-30 deg less than the top. The right side (where the controls are) just got warm. Hope this info helps.

It is very slow to come to temp on the display. It is slower than my pre-heat oven setting is - but it does measure temp more accurately than any other oven thermometer I've ever had - just takes a while to get to the temp.

Absolutely; can't imagine a kitchen without one. You know exactly how hot that pan or skillet is before you dump something in there. And you can tell how hot your oven is too... not the air temperature, but the temperature of the oven wall you point it at... that is more constant, and telling. It won't help you figure out if something is fully cooked because it just measures surface temperatures, but if you are heating anything up that you can stir (like heating soup in a microwave), you can stir it and see how hot it is. I know my microwave food is ready to eat when I stir it up and see the temperature at about 150. Absolutely; can't imagine a kitchen without one.

I don't think so. Are you sure that your oven heats up to the temperature that you want? Many ovens are over/under by 25 or more degrees, compared to the settings chosen. Check online for ways to determine the accuracy of your oven.

It has a small round oven thermometer in the upper right corner of the enclosed oven. It works very well, sometimes it's a little foggy due to condensed steam on the overlying window but I like it. I suppose it's possible that it reads a bit hotter than the lower parts of the oven, especially before the whole oven has heated up.

I am sure it does...I have not tried that yet. check on-line for cooking instructions or find a temperature guide.

No, it does not. It is also not very accurate, about 2 degrees off at room temperature, and about 3 - 4 at 32 degrees

My experience has been that it was my oven that was wrong, not the thermometer! My food came out much better and the way it was supposed to when I followed this thermometer rather than the temperature reading on my oven's display!!! Hope that answer helps... good luck!

Not really. It only checks temperatures of surfaces; which it does very well.

No. It only measures surface temps. On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

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

We haven't placed our thermometer in it, but it seems to be holding the temperature setting accurately. It is small enough that baking is even, no notable hot or cold zones.
