I decided to play with the thermometer the other night. My wife bought a rotisserie chicken because we were both busy. We had some raw asparagus in the fridge, and some baking potatoes.
Since the potatoes were the slowest to cook, they would determine when we could eat, I decided to place the probe in a potato. I was careful to make sure the probe was inserted slightly deeper than the 3 lines that mark the safe point, and started the potatoes. A while later the high temp alarm went off and I removed the potato from the oven. I noticed the 3 lines were visible. The alarm stopped after the probe temp went down. So I stuck the probe in much deeper and put the potato back in the oven. A while later the alarm went off again. I pulled the potato and the probe had worked it's way out past the 3 lines again. I pulled the probe out and used a thermoworks probe to monitor the temp.
I'm thinking that, due to the thicker probe body, pressure forced it to back out of the potato - not really sure. Anyway, I thought those who have this thermo would like to know.
