I've lost my instructions for my thermometer and want to know if I can put the probe and wire in the oven?

The probe goes in the oven, because it has to go in the meat. The wire sticks out the edge of the oven. The plastic part that has the readout cannot go in the oven.

Yes, it stays in the oven. If fact the probe provides two temperature readings. It tells you the temp of the meat you are cooking (because you stick the probe into the meat) AND it also gives you the temperature of the oven. The tip of the probe reads the meat . . . and the top portion reads the oven temp. I bought it because we were certain our oven wasn't giving us an accurate reading. We found out that our oven was cooking at 470 degrees when the dial was set at 400 degrees. Hope this helps.

You could probably use a regular oven thermometer. My Sun Oven came with one though.

Sorry, I don't. I just installed this but it is supposed to convert bake times and temperatures to suit a convection oven. Still have to see.

My food temp probe wire is 29" and the grill/oven temp probe wire is 33". That doesn't include the plugs or probes, just the wire.

Put the probe in the meat in the oven or grill when you start cooking. Close the oven door or grill lid. The probe's wire can then be plugged in to the register outside the oven or grill. The oven door and grill lid can and will close around the wire and not impact oven or grill temperature.

I would not try to use the meat probe. The wire from the Monitor to the probe would get tangled while the rotisserie is spinning. You could use the temp probe to monitor the BBQ temp as long as it was fixed to grate.

heat your oven to temp. and once it has reached the temp. quickly open the door and shoot the side of the oven wall and it will give you a reading. close the door give it a few minutes to heat back up and then shoot the outside window and compare the two readings...you may need to replace your heating element in the stove and it is not that hard to do. The unite that I bought has been very accurate.

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 only way that would work is if you drilled a hole in the oven. The probe needs to be inside and the dial or face needs to be outside of the heat source.

My Polder thermometer is a different model, but I have ordered new probes from Amazon for mine. I would be confident enough to order this probe for a newer Polder gauge.Polder Replacement Oven Probe for THM-362-86I think the polder is an excellent oven thermometer.The first one I had had a wire mesh shield on the temp probe, the new ones have a synthetic shield that holds up great.

A wire comes out of the thermometer. It cannot be removed. There is a plastic probe at the tip.

The thermometer will give an instant read and will continue to read if the temperature is changing.There is a hold button so you can always see what the last reading was. It does have an auto off after 10 min.As answered in all the others "IT CANNOT BE LEFT IN THE OVEN" However if you are warming a liquid you can leave the probe in as long as you like

Yes... the specs say do not exceed 350F for the probe itself... the problem is that the probe is ok beyond that, but the rubber insulation on the wire melts above 400F as I found out the hard way. Since the probe is not detachable from the wire I do not exceed 350F with the new probe I had to buy.

Probably. If the issue is the probe wire fusing...why bother ? It is going to,happen again. I replaced it with a Redi-Chek thermometer and love it.

Yes, it can be used without the probe. It's great when you've got multiple items cooking and you need more than the oven timer. Loud enough to hear from another room as well.

Instructions did not provide details about oven use so I called Oregon Scientific and learned this unit is NOT intended for the oven in the manner discussed! Specifically the wire between the probe and the transmitting unit isn't supposed to be inside with the door closed and the heat on. Not sure how they can call it a bbq/oven thermometer but I'm sending mine back before using it because I already have an instant-read thermometer.
