Cooking Alarm Thermometers for Ovens and Barbecues

A leave-in cooking alarm thermometer tells you when food reaches a target without repeated door opening. Match the number of channels and alarm types to the way you cook.

A cooking alarm thermometer keeps a probe in the food and sounds when a chosen temperature is reached. A food thermometer with alarm is particularly useful for roasts, smoking and any cook where opening the lid loses heat.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What does a cooking thermometer with alarm do?

It monitors a leave-in probe and alerts you at a set temperature. Some models also warn when a cooker moves above or below a chosen range.

Can a thermometer probe stay in the oven?

Only a probe and cable specifically rated for leave-in oven use should remain inside. Keep the display outside unless its manual says otherwise.

What is the ThermoWorks ChefAlarm cooking alarm thermometer?

ChefAlarm is a single-channel leave-in thermometer with high and low alarms, a timer and a physical display.

Do I need two probes for a barbecue?

Two channels are useful when you want one probe in the food and another near the cooking grate. A single food probe may be enough in a well-controlled oven.
