Perfect for oven-baked meat, less apt for baking in the pan.

I've used this thermometer for a variety of meat in the past few months: pork, chicken, beef, It was all perfectly baked .According to the selection I had made. Only When baking meat in a pan I found did the thermometer Often what "too late" and did what the meat overcooked. Could be so Because Those pieces of meat were thinner than thosethat I've done in the oven though.
