Average Mode sets Square DOT apart from other alarm thermometers. Most ovens and pellet smokers fluctuate around their set temperature — often swinging 20–30°F above and below the target.

Four stars, not five, and I'm being generous.
The clip that holds the thermometer on the grate doesn't work very well in my oven. I have to bend it. It's always flashing some message. Does it matter which hole the oven temperature probe is plugged into? And if I don't need the food probe, the missing-probe message blinks nonstop, which is annoying. The up-and-down temperature arrows are very clunky. I have to press them several times just to move one degree. The directions on the instruction sheet should be more complete. And it needs some kind of foldable, attached stand. It only lies down on its back.

love the dual probes to measure the food and the oven
I bought this so test the operating temp of my ovens. Both were off, one by 15 degrees too warm the other by 5 degrees too cold. I measured boiling water to check the accuracy of the device, and based on that, decided to trust its accuracy in the oven. Tonight I will be trusting it to tell me when a fancy piece of steak is done cooking!

How to get average oven temp
I can’t figure out how to record the average oven temperature. I attach the first probe to the oven rack to tell me the current oven temperature. Does the second probe just need to lay on the rack in the oven to provide the average temp.
