I bought a cheap Koch digital themometer from ebay and it didn't come with any instructions. Does anyone know if digital thermomters are oven-safe or instant-read?

The heat of the oven would melt those sensitive parts otherwise. Perhaps you could post the model. Sat Nov 20 02:35:28 -0800 2004 1447655 0 Joe MacBu
