Common questions
Only the probe and any components the manufacturer identifies as oven-safe should go inside. Keep phones, displays and transmitters outside unless the instructions say otherwise.
It may, but metal and walls can reduce range. A model with a dedicated repeater or Wi-Fi bridge can help when you move farther away.
Place the sensing area in the thickest edible section, away from bone, large fat pockets and the pan.
Bluetooth can suit nearby monitoring; Wi-Fi or a bridge is more convenient across a larger home. Reliability depends on the product and your layout.
