Question: If it can't be used in temperatures greater than 375 degrees, what happens when it goes into a 500 degree preheated oven?  I have never used a probe.
Document: Like ALL other probe-and-cable type thermometers that I've seen, this one can't be used in ovens that have been heated to high temps, and I wouldn't think it could tolerate the high heat of a grill, for instance. That may explain many of the failures people have written about!The instructions say not to put it inside an oven that is hotter than 392 degrees (presumably because the oven heat would damage the cable and/or sensor).
I've used this and its previous versions for many years and never had a problem. It is an excellent timer, and in-oven thermometer. Easy to use, accurate, nice looking on the countertop. And by the way, as others have noted, it says not to use it above something like 392 degrees. My understanding is that is the limit that the probe has when stuck inside your meat measuring its temperature. I've used it many times in overs set to over 400 degrees and never had a problem.
This thermometer cannot handle high oven temps. It works OK for roasts of 350-375. Stick it in a 450F oven and it just goes haywire. Come on now.4/29 - Will update review after contacting customer service for new probe.4/30 - Update, contacted customer service per the number provide in comment section and they are shipping out a new probe for the thermometer. I really do appreciate companies with excellent customer service. Thanks ThermoWorks!
Total Junk I used my the first time worked great the second time I went to use it I turned the unit on and reads 156 degrees in a 70 degree room .The Unit and probe was take care of no kinks of cable or any reason for the thermometer to act this way do to my care would not recommend this unit to anyone
This doesn't work for BBQing at all. Melted the first time I used it. It seems to display temperature well before it melted, and seemed relatively responsive, but after about 4 minutes, it just displayed HIGH and the probe never worked again. It was in a 350 degree BBQ, which should have been well under the temperature rating, and the probe was placed correctly, not up against anything directly.
I accidentally wrote my review of this product under the &#34;Replacement Probe for Thermoworks TW362B Oven Thermometer&#34; (review titled &#34;Can't do without it&#34;) and I don't want to repeat what I already stated there. This thermometer is great for in-oven as well as stove-top (Dutch oven) cooking - never any heat loss and accurate temperature measurements.
I am very pleased with this thermometer. It is great that you can check the temperature of the meat without opening the oven door.My only grumble is that the temperatures recommended in the enclosed booklet for cooking a steak rare is too high. I feel 115 degrees is high enough not 125 degrees as suggested because when it is resting the steak will continue to cook.Saying this I would definitely recommend it to a friend. In actual fact my son -in - law saw it and is going to buy one.
Pros:Works well for its purpose - it is what I expectedCounts down and upAlarm worksFairly accurate (I tested it with boiling water)Pretty easy to use (once you get used to it)Cons:Fairly complex instructionsHigh maintenance - ex: only the probe tip can be washed, can't let wire touch oven walls, etc. (I think people who had bad experiences probably did something the manufacturer warned against.
i love this thermometer, but the only issue i have is that if i want to pick a temp of 375 i have to scroll up from 122 (where it starts every time) to 375 in increments of 1 degree.it's super fast, accurate and i use it all the time. i love it.
I bought this a few years ago and it has never worked properly. The display just goes off randomly. I thought it was my recharcheable bateries at first, but after they worked just fine in other products I realized it was the timer/probe itself. And so I decided it must be the temperture probe and ordered a new one. That didn't make the slightest difference.
Answer: I have used it at 425 and it did ok. I wasn't aware of its limits so will be more careful next time. I will probably just use it to stop check and not leave it in the oven.
