does this thermometer stay in the meat throughout the cooking time??

No, you insert it into the meat only to check it's current temp(doneness), then take it out, turn it off and repeat when necessary ps., it is not a truly 'instant' read thermometer, does take about 10sec., which is pretty darn fast. Hope this was helpfull. BT

NO... You take the temp of the dish after removing it from the oven. I just used mine on some chicken breasts. It works as promised... GREAT. Best I have ever used!

No you can't leave it in the meat, it would most likely ruin it. If you want one to leave in the meat try one do the Maverick brand thermometers. They make one that uses two probes--one for the meat and one for the grill, etc.

Yes it tells u both oven and meat temp and as far as I can tell it ha been very accurate. We have used about a dozen times or so and has been very helpful and accurate

I have used it several times with my barbecue grill. I don't leave it in the meat while cooking, of course, but I will occasionally take a reading while cooking. It works pretty fast (a few seconds), but I would suggest using a barbecue mitt or some other protection for your hand, because even a few seconds over a hot grill can be pretty uncomfortable. It doesn't seem to affect the thermometer, though, and that may be because I shield the plastic part with the mitt, so only the metal probe is exposed to the heat.

The sensors are on the tip but to get an accurate temp of the meat you are cooking, I would think that you would need to insert it to the middle.

Yes, if the probe is in a "shallow" piece of meat and most of the probe is in the oven, it still reads correctly. I recently cooked a 2.5 prime rib and put the probe into the center and it worked accurately. It does not have to be "deep".

Howdy K.O., I have only used this thermometer for meats. It is accurate, and fast. I also bought my nephew one since he liked mine so much. Hope this helps your decision making. C

Yes, and a thermometer you can stick in the food. We really like this versatile grill.

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!

No, but as the discription says: Set the timer for 15 minutes per pound of chicken and then watch it roast through the glass door. The heat isn't adjustable, but three settings--normal rotation, pause and sear, and no heat rotation--are designed to cook meats to juicy perfection." Think of it as a real Rotisserie over a fire, you time by pound, you can always pause and stick a meat thermometer in.... Comes out perfect every time as long as you do your math right!

I can't answer that question as I haven't used this thermometer in that fashion. I have used it to continously monitor meat temp in the thickest part of the meat. I did not move it around.

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

I've been pleased with mine. It seems to be accurate (i.e. meat does not seem to be undercooked). It also helped when the pop up button on the turkey didn't work. I find it really helpful when re-heating casseroles when the internal temp needs to be high enough to kill the bad guys. I like having the temp registering outside the oven. Haven't tried it on the grill. The only problem I've had is remembering that the part that goes in the oven gets hot!

To measure the temperature of the cooker: No. It regulates itself but you can if you're curious. For the meat: I would highly recommend using a high quality digital thermometer to determine the final temps of your meat. I use a Thermapen by Thermoworks and I always know where the meat is at and when it will be done.

It's supposed to be the type that can be left in the meat. I haven't put it to the test, but I believe the description at Amazon when i bought it implied that can be left in. They do not, however, want it left in if you are broiling.

Sort of, but it is still not that easy to read. My recommendation to you would be not to buy it. Mine only works intermittently and it shows temps ranging from way too high to way too low. For some reason at times it totally shuts down when inserted into the meat. To make a long story short it worked as it was supposed to for only about a week. I finally broke down and purchased a Therma Pen instant read thermometer for $96 (I haven't received it yet). I can only hope I have a better experience with the Therma Pen. So far I haven't had a good experience with any thermometer I have ever purchased and I have no idea why that should be!

I have used it on several types of foods, both used on the grill. This isn't the type of thermometer that you leave in the meat and walk away. It's for spot checks. ThermoWorks makes other types of thermometers that you stick in the meat and leave.
