Is the coating that runs from the probe to the thermometer safe for high oven temps?

I never used It on avNythinag higher than probably 350.tpo 375 and it was fine.

Have used it in 425 oven and it was fine. Have not tryed it any higher temperature. Completely happy with it.

The probe is made of metal. The read-out is made mostly from high-quality plastic. The sheath that protects the probe is also made out of high-quality plastic. Please keep in mind, this isn't a thermometer that should ever be left exposed to heat. Don't confuse this with an old-fashioned meat thermometer designed to be left sticking out of the meat while it cooks. A meat thermometer can stand sitting in the oven, but it is much much less accurate. With this one, you open the oven, stick it in whatever you're cooking, and get your reading in a couple of seconds. It can also be used for measuring the temperature of liquids and gases and is accurate within less than a single degree. The probe is made of metal.

Nope. It's surface-temp only. Really good for checking the frying pan or cooking oil temp, but no probe, strictly non-contact surface readings.

The probe appears to be sealed in rubber. To be sure it waterproof I would encapsulate it in silicone.

Be careful that the cord from the probe does not touch the rack. That will give you a false high reading--high enough to take the thermometer out of its range--and cause the probe to fail prematurely.

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.

been using it for the last three months and have not had any trouble with the coating, do not run too hot for food tho.. cook slow and not fast.. the food can stick when too hot.... makes great omlets for two.

Actually if you use it right, it's not as dangerous as they make it out to be. When cooking or baking with anything that has a PTFE(teflon) coating, don't go over 450F and you'll be fine. Harmful chemicals won't be released then.

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.

I'm not sure about the coating but it works very nicely I bake and broil and put the tray in the dishwasher

I'm not 100% sure, but the plug in the handle is silicone so that should be fine. I'm not sure what the coating is made of. It's just a thin clear coat. The pan in general is an absolute tank so even if the coating was somehow damaged it certainly wouldn't affect the performance.

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

It's for the oven temperature. You can buy a different probe to use with it for checking food/meat temperatures, though.

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 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.

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.
