There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

If you are trying to test the temp of a roast that is in the oven, can you put this thermometer in the roast, and cook the roast, leaving the thermometer in the roast, or is this thermometer not meant to stay inserted in the meat, while the meat is cooking?
Sorry for such a simple question.
I found it a lot more convenient than having a thermometer where the display is inside the oven (the type that look like lollipops, with a dial at the end of a probe) as it is much easier to read the temperature (display not ending up at a "funny angle").
ThermoWorks sells great oven, smoker, and grill probes that are leave-in. (I have no affiliation, just a fan of their products). Something like the ThermoWorks DOT is what you want.
This Javelin Pro is designed for "spot checking" temperatures and leaving it in would probably damage it. The probe itself can handle the temperature of the oven just fine, but the other parts (battery, LCD, plastic housing, etc.) aren't meant to go in the oven.
Many thanks.
