Yes, definitely you can keep the meat thermometer while it is cooking inside the oven. There are some types of food thermometer that allows the thermometer to remain inside the food while it's cooking in the oven. There are bimetallic coil food thermometers that are safe to use inside the oven. These oven safe bimetallic coil food thermometer are especially used in thick meat and for roasting.

∙ 11y agoYou 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.

Yes, but only if it designed to take the heat of the oven. (NOTE: the "pop up" and other thermometers designed to be left in are not accurate. They indicate you can now check)

*************** previous answer below ****************
No, the thermometer would heat up and not give an accurate reading. (NOTE: the mass of the meat will prevent the thermometer from reaching the oven temperature. It will help conduct heat into the meat. You can use stainless steel "nails" in baked potatoes for this effect.

∙ 12y agoAs long as there's no batteries inside of it or any plastic parts, you can use it in the oven and keep them in there or stuck inside your meat.
Most oven thermometers are made of metal and glass.
Those digital thermometers are only meant to be used for a second, to get a quick reading ..not to leave them inside the food or in the oven for more than a second or two.
The batteries can burst, and the plastic can melt!

∙ 13y agoWhether or not you can use an instant read meat thermometer in the oven depends on if the particular thermometer is oven safe or not. Many meat thermometers are made to use in the oven so you do not have to keep opening the door to check the meat. Consult the product packaging or manufacturer to see if it is oven safe or not.

How many minutes per pound and at what temperature would you recommend a Smithfield ham be cooked in a conventional oven?
There is no way to answer that question. There are too many variable, such as: How well does your oven hold heat?, What temperature was the ham when it went into the oven?, What shape is the ham?, etc. So, here is what you do: Go to a kitchen store, and buy a probe thermometer. This is a thermometer that has a long probe that stays in the meat with a long wire that runs to a digital readout outside the oven. Then, you put the probe in the center of the meat and cook at 325 degrees until the thermometer reads 140 degrees, then pull your ham out of the oven, rest for 20 minutes covered in foil in the countertop, then, slice and serve.
How do you know if the oven is too hot when baking a cake uncertain if the thermostat is working correctly How do you establish this?
You put an oven thermometer in the oven and check the temperature.
How many minutes per pound should you cook prime rib?
I like to sear the surface of a rib roast a bit, to hold in the juices. I preheat the oven to HOT (~650ºF), put the roast in the oven and immediately turn down the thermostat to 325ºF. The oven temperature will drift down to the desired temperature. Start your timer as soon as you put the meat in, and roast for about 15 minutes per pound, and then start checking the meat's internal temperature. USE a MEAT THERMOMETER!

Do oven bags really make meat jucier?
They don't actually make the meat juicer as the moisture is in the meat before you put it in the bag. However oven bags help hold the moisture in the meat by prevention the juices from evaporating out of it. so you will end up with juicier meat from an oven bag.
