Yes, the probe wires will not obstruct the oven door when it is closed. I use them with my Weber grill and they work just fine.

First and foremost, I found these to be very accurate. People complained about putting them in a cup of hot water and getting different readings, according to some reviews. What I discovered is that they are extremely sensitive, and if you touch the bottom of the cup, it will read differently. If they're both suspended in the cup, the temperature will be the same. Second, I rarely cook anything that necessitates the use of a thermometer. So I'm terrible at placing the probe in the correct location in the turkey. As a result, I purchased a probe-equipped unit. I placed them in various locations throughout the bird, as well as in the cavity stuffing, and used the lowest temperature to determine when it was finished. Last but not least, the cables are perfect!br>br>Last but not least, the cables are perfect! They function properly, but they are inconvenient to use. They are difficult to bend and tangle with. It may have been a minor issue, but getting the bird in and out of the oven with four cables dangling wasn't easy.
Despite the fact that it was not the one I had hoped to purchase, I was on a tight budget, and these work flawlessly. I wish I could have purchased the water-resistant ones, but the truth is that Covid is a waste of money. Since purchasing this product, I've used all four probes the first time, one probe the second time, and three probes the third time; consistency is important, and this product delivers. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> 1/6/2021: I'm still giving it five stars because it's a fantastic product. However, I've noticed that the color of the colored probe rings has faded. On the probe rings, I can see a faint color, but it is gradually disappearing. Thankfully, the connecting end of the probe is also colored, so I'll be able to keep track of my food's temperature.
I had no idea that the temperature of a leg of lamb or a large beef roast could vary so much, and it's now a lot of fun to keep track of. I was measuring 135, 136, 121, and 120 degrees on a leg of lamb, for instance. What should I do if I need 135 for a medium? When I took it out, the majority of the lamb was medium rare (135 degrees), but some areas were extremely rare, as indicated by the 120-degree readings. We've used the monitor in our indoor oven as well as our outdoor grill. We ruined one, unfortunately, because I made the mistake of turning on the side burner while the monitor was still on the counter. The plastic monitor case melted due to the heat. It wasn't the monitor's fault; it was the grill operator's (my) fault. So, because I liked it so much, I ordered a replacement right away. It was a good lesson.
I wish it had been successful, but it was not. The temperature has dropped by 15 degrees. I smoked my chicken with it in my smoker, but it was overcooked. I double-checked it against my original two-year-old digital thermometer, which is always accurate, and found that each of the four thermometers was 15 degrees off. I cooked a small pork tenderloin today. I set it to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as instructed, but I also had my original digital on standby (I can't leave it on while cooking). So, when the alarm went off, I went back to my old routine. My original read 150, while the Thermo Pro read 165, when I used the digital alongside the Thermo Pro. So I had to set the Thermo Pro to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and when it went off, I used my original digital to check the temperature, which read 165 degrees Fahrenheit, indicating that my roast was done. Having the ability to monitor the temperature of my dish while it was cooking appealed to me greatly. That was offered to me by Therm Pro, but it failed to deliver on the true temperatures. I like the alarm that goes off when the temperature reaches the temperature I set. This assures me that my dish will be prepared to perfection. I was expecting a high-quality thermometer because I did my research and found out that Therm Pro makes high-quality thermometers. It took me a month to use it, which was my fault; the next time I buy a "use while you cook" thermometer, I'll use it right away. Because it's now just a half-as* thermometer that I have to adjust to fit the situation, which isn't what I paid for. I'm incredibly disappointed.
WOW. br>Dry chicken is no longer an option. br>I'm not sure how I managed to grill before this. br>Preheat the oven to the desired temperature and close the lid. Grab a beer and head over to the pub. br>Be careful not to overcook your food because the alarm will sound. br>br>The three stars for accuracy are due to the fact that I am unsure of the temperatures at this time. I attached one of the probes to the spring clip that came with the kit. It was still smoking when I got home. It's about 30 degrees off, so I'll have to look into which one is correct; my suspicion is that it's my smoker, not these thermometers, that's the problem. br>br>The LCD display fades in direct sunlight, so it gets three stars for durability. When an LCD display overheats, this is a typical symptom. It should be kept out of the sun and away from the heat of the grill. br>br>However, this is an excellent gadget.
While the long probe allows you to reach the center of larger items like pork butts or brisket, it also brings the temperature down to the lowest point along the probe. That is to say, unless the tip is perfectly centered, you are only guessing at your true temperature. (Smiling three racks at once) I used three different leads on three different sets of pork ribs at the same time. I was able to get all three probes to read with just one probe at first. They're all within 2 degrees of each other, which should be accurate because they were all prepared at the same time. Because I couldn't keep the probes centered in the smoker because they were so long, the hit pushed them in further after 5 minutes in my smoker, there was a 40 degree difference between them after 5 minutes. I'm using an Oklahoma Joe offset smoker, which should handle three sets of ribs with ease. As a result, I'll have to open the lid several times to double-check all of the temperatures with an instant read because I don't trust these probes. If you're looking for a product you can rely on every time, I'd recommend looking for one that measures temperature across the entire probe, so that even if you can't get it perfectly centered, you'll have a fairly accurate temperature.
