Is this a leave-in probe? say if I am BBQ or slow cooking a roast .. can I leave it in &amp; in the oven/bbq?

If I'm cooking a roast or turkey that will be in the oven for at least a few hours, I don't bother inserting the probe until close to the time I think it will be ready (I don't leave it in the oven for 3+ hours). I haven't used it with my outdoor grill. The probe does get very hot, so you need to handle it with gloves if it's been in the oven.

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 !

You can use it for regular kitchen use if you are inserting the probe, taking the temperature and removing it. But you shouldn't leave it in a hot place like an oven while the food is baking. The body is made of plastic and I think it would melt. I use it to take the temperature of foods I'm cooking on the stove top and oven all the time. It is quick reacting and will usually show the temperature within 10-20 seconds.

I have had no problem with this probe. I have had the oven set as high as 375 degrees Fahrenheit and meat rose to about 160 with no problem. Do not know how that converts to celsius. I would contact Taylor.Good luck,Diane

The probe cord is 44 inches long and the unit does have a magnet on the back to secure it to a metal surface. Not sure about the comment of not leaving the probe in while cooking; maybe for use in an oven. I have used it twice only with a gas barbeque: once I left the probe in for pork tenderloin and once I had to insert the probe to test the temp as I was using the rotisserie. Worked great both times. Suggest you remove the battery and not store the unit with the battery in it.

Yes, it can measure the temp continuously, however it cannot be left in the oven or a grill/smoker. To use in a oven, etc. you would need a temp probe ona heat resistant cable and the control unit away from the heat.

The purpose is to put one probe into a thick piece of something like meat. Also there is a probe for hood or oven temperature. Not sure what your purpose is.

While I have only used this thermometer for the BBQ grill, I suspect it can also be used for indoor oven. It comes with two probes - one for meat and the other for internal temperatue (Grill or oven). I am very pleaed with this product, hope the info helps.

I am not sure about the question so I will be as descriptive as possible. The probe is stainless and so is the cord,I am sure that it does not melt. You simply place the probe in the meat go watch a show on the TV and you have the reader next to you set on what you like as far as the temp of your meat or chicken or what ever. The temps that they recommend are too hot for me,since after you take it out of the oven the temp still rises so I make it 5-10 degrees lower.It has an alarm to remind you when it's done. To me it's a no brainer.

No, the thermometer can not be left in the oven. It is for instant reading only.

This is not the type of thermometer that you leave in the oven with what ever your baking. With this type you have to open the oven once in a while and stick the probe in meatiest part to get the correct temp. After you get a reading you pull it out, turn it off and clean the metal probe, put it back in its sleeve and wait to use it again.

No. I would not leave this thermometer in the oven during cooking. It was made for instant read.

No. It sits on your counter next to the oven during use. The probe is stored inside and you can put it in a drawer when not in use.

These are both food probes. But as far as I know, either probe could be used as the grill probe. I have personally used the grill probe as a food probe on occasion.

You can put the probe in the oven. I would just make sure you line the cable down the side of the oven door so it doesn't get pinched in the door.

Yes! Insert the probe in the thickest part of the meat, not fat. Put it in the oven and close the oven over the wire. Set the temperature to what you want, and cook away. The timer will give you a warning when it gets close to the temperature that you want. Take the meat out when done and remove the probe; rest and/or tent with foil if needed.

No - Found this out too late. I was under the impression that this was a conventional type of oven thermometer that you insert and leave in the roast while it is cooking. It melted!
