Do you put the meat thermometer in the meat while its in the oven?
You SHOULD put the thermometer into the meat while it is cooking. Solid meat pieces need to be 145 Deg F or over. Ground meat 165 Deg F. All poultry needs to be 165 Deg F or over. The temperature is INTERNAL and not against a bone. Any external thermometer only reads the surface temperature not the internal meat temperature. The "pop out" indicators are not calibrated. You should still check the temperature before declaring the food done. You calibrate a thermometer by putting it in a cup of ice then a pot of gently boiling water. The professional thermometers are not meant to be left in. ref: http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html ************* previous answer below ****************** You can yes,but I would not recommend leaving it in the meat while it is cooking,but you can.

Is the best type of meat thermometer digital or analog?
Both are perfectly acceptable. A digital thermometer may measure to a tenth of a degree, but this is of no importance when cooking meat. What matters is that the meat gets to the necessary USDA-recommended internal temperature, and for this an accuracy of only a few degress is required. The only exception to this would be an analog thermometer that can be left in the meat during cooking, because the electronics and cases of digital thermometers can't take the heat.
