the gadget is a MEAT thermometer that give you the temperature of the INSIDE of a roast or so. Its not an oven thermometer!

Go with the classic! That wont run out of batteries when you need it most.

I know it's a meat thermometer. Hence the question. If it were obviously an oven thermometer, I wouldn't have asked.

I'd prefer not to have to peer into the oven through the door to see the temperature.

Got one of those from YuppieChef - http://www.yuppiechef.com/master-cl...772&name=Master-Class-Deluxe-Oven-Thermometer
Thing is so fkn inaccurate I just got Elba out to do a warranty check on the oven's thermostat! It was reading 35 degrees or more under what the oven was set to.
Elba techie came with a digital jobbie, turned out the oven was about 15-20 degrees under the setting, so that's been corrected, but the yuppiechef thing is still 20 degrees out...

So I think I need to get a proper digital one.

So having made the move to gas, I've found that the one shortcoming of my gas oven is that it's not so easy to tell when it's up to temperature.

Thinking maybe about getting one of these:

Reckon it will work for showing the temp inside the oven?

I have a few types of thermometers for the kitchen for different uses. You could try and use a Infrared Thermometer, I bought one off eBay a while ago it looks like this.

It takes very accurate surface temperatures, I use it for when I deep fry something.

Not keen to have to open the oven to measure :) Thanks for the info though...

It's instant read so it takes literally a second which would not result in much loss in temperature. Is that your concern?
