Thermapen's alarm thermometers are designed to help you know exactly what's happening in your oven without opening the door. Each thermometer comes with a meat probe for monitoring the internal temperature of your meat as it roasts, but you can easily switch to an oven probe to measure air temperatures.
Why should you invest in an oven thermometer?
Oven temperatures can often become inaccurate over time, which can significantly impact the quality of your food. If your oven temperature is too high, tender meats could become tough and dry. Too low and crispy potatoes could be soggy and pale. Baking is most affected by incorrect oven temperatures—precise air temperatures are critical for getting the perfect rise and texture for items like meringues and soufflés.
Using an oven thermometer is an easy way to check if your oven temperature is accurate and achieve consistently perfect results when cooking.

Traditionally, dial thermometers are used for oven monitoring. However, these are often less accurate and more difficult to read. Digital oven thermometers feature a display that sits outside your oven, showing clear and accurate temperatures. They connect to a wired probe, which you place inside the oven to take the readings.
All of our digital oven thermometers (the DOT, BlueDOT and ChefAlarm) come with a free probe designed for meat monitoring. Simply insert the probe into your meat and place it the oven or BBQ, set your desired temperature, and the thermometer will alert you once it's cooked.
To use our alarm thermometers to monitor your oven temperature, you simply need to switch the meat probe for the Pro-Series Air Temp Probe. Place your probe inside the free clip and attach it to your oven shelf or BBQ grate to start monitoring.
