It was probably hot.
LOL
you know, this looks like one designed to be used to take the temperature of the meat OUTSIDE of the oven
(not one that you keep inside the oven as it is cooking)
Looks almost good enough to eat. Nice browning on the edges.
Uh, most instant read meat thermometers are not supposed to go into the oven. You pull the meat out, insert, read the temperature, return the meat (sans thermometer) to the oven.
I’d say it’s done.
Does it work?
Does it come with instructions?
Are you the guy who sued the cookbook publisher years ago for damages for the burns he suffered after following one of their recipe books with a recipe that said to “generously grease the bottom of the pan”?
Looks like a well done marshmallow.
It does look like yours browned nicely if it once looked like this one on Amazon:

I do think that this type is inserted into the meat after it has been removed from the oven. I think the kind that go in the oven are ‘roasting’ thermometers or ‘oven thermometers’.
I had a Taylor meat thermometer I used to use thirty five years ago when I was inspecting dining halls. I took it out today so I could take the internal temperature of the Cornish Game hen I was cooking and it worked like it did so long ago. It was nice seeing an old friend do its job faithfully as it did in the past.
LOL! A HOF thread.
Looks well done
The kind you use in the oven have a thin wire that goes through the oven door to the outside where the controls are...the rest are meant to be used to periodically check the temp as you check the turkey, not meant to be left in the oven.
Reminds me of the year they came out with the bags to cook turkeys in, one of my aunts heard people talking after Thanksgiving about how good the turkeys were that were cooked in them. I guess they were called Brown n bag or something like that. Any way when Christmas rolled around she decided to do the turkey that way...she thought people were saying brown bag and buttered up the turkey and put it in a brown grocery sack in the oven to cook...you guessed it...FIRE in the oven.
Funniest Christmas ever was the year Reddi whip came out and my mom, aunts, and step-grandmother looked like they had a whip cream fight in the kitchen while they were trying to figure out how to get it out of the can.
Congrats! You have arrived! ;-)
You didn’t seriously think you were supposed to put it in the oven did you?
I mean..come on.... It has a battery. If nothing else it is obvious that you can’t heat a battery to 350 degrees, or an LCD display....never mind all the plastic....
This is a joke right?
