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.

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 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!

The broiling part of an oven is called the element, and it is located at the top of the oven. Be sure to leave the oven door open when using the broiler and put the oven rack up very close to the burner. The meat should be about 2 in from the heat source. DO NOT LEAVE the oven while broiling.

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.
