Can I use it to measure liquids temperature?

Yes, as long as you don't immerse the plastic top. Like other reviewers, the top to mine has come off several times when the probe is removed from the meat. I contacted the seller, but no response. It works fine, but does have a problem.

I am not sure. These are pretty cheaply made and mine fell apart (cheap plastic top came off) after 3 uses. I was not happy with the way it worked when it did work as it took too long to measure temperature.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

I suppose you could, provided you take the necessary precautions in somewhat water proofing the temperature probe. I Initially used mine for home brewing and found it to be about 5 degrees off from other calibrated thermometers which is not good in home brewing. You might want to look around a bit more before committing to this unit.

I really am not sure, if what you want to measure is very low pressure than I think it would work. This unit measures in water column and is very sensitive.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. Just embed the temperature sensor (it's not really a "probe") deep inside the bread. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

The kettle is made exceptionally well so I don't see why not. I think that this would be overkill though. You don't need a temp gauge

I have used it for liquids and it works. Although one strange thing. On mine the set temp goes up on its own while it is in the pot, as if a gremlin is pressing the temp up button. Just by 1 to 4 degrees.

Have not tried a liquid, but I've taken the probe out of meat after pulling it out of the oven and it actually descends and correctly registers down to room temp. You'd probably be better off with a unit designed for candymaking, but i do remember seeing reviews about using this product with liquids.And Enthusiasm is incorrect...this unit is for use in the oven. Instructions specifically say to only use as an instant read if using in a bbq or smoker.

No, it can only be used for surface temperature. There is no probe to check internal temp.

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

This thermometer is designed to measure the human body temperature which can not go below or above certain limits. While water can go down to freezing and up to boiling. I am not sure it can accurately read temperature values outside the human body tempreture. Why not buy an industrial thermometer. I don't think they are more expensive.

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.

Daniel, If you're careful you should be able to do that. I use it to check the temperature of tea in a tea pot sometimes and it's right on the money with that. I'd recommend taking a couple readings on different spots and going with what seems to be the most consistent. Id also recommend pointing it at the label instead of the glass. You may in fact be reading the temperature of the glass - but it should be pretty close if not exactly the temp of the wine inside. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking the laser is the exact spot the temp is being taken. Place the larger opening on the gun directly on the bottle.

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

I've used it to measure the temp of milk when heated up to just below boiling to make yogurt and it was fine.

yes it would work perfect for that. Calibration ..... boiling water = 212 degrees F, 100 degrees C.... Ice = 32 degrees F, 0 degrees C
