I have just bought an oven thermometer and I’m not really sure how to use it. More specifically I want to know where I should stick it in the oven when I’m baking . And also, how quickly does it adjust to the current temperature? Is the temperature displayed really the current temperature of my oven?

Step1
Push the meat thermometer into the thickest section of the meat you are cooking before you place the meat in the oven.
Step2
Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, but is embedded deeply in the meat itself.
Step3
Put the meat in the oven at the recommended temperature.
Step4
Leave the meat thermometer in the meat throughout the cooking process.
Step5
Check the meat thermometer as soon as the recommended cooking time for the cut of meat you are preparing is almost finished. The reading on the thermometer - check the levels for the kind of meat you are cooking - will indicate when the meat is cooked throughout.

Tips :
Meat thermometers come in a variety of styles, including dial types, probes and stand-up types of thermometers. Some probe thermometers allow you to connect the thermometer to a countertop unit that gives you the temperature reading without having to open the oven. Microwave-safe meat thermometers are also available.
Get a meat thermometer that is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
Meat thermometers can be used for things other than measuring the temperature of meat. Some can - for example - check the temperature of water to be sure it’s safe to add yeast, or check the internal temperature of warmed-over leftovers to be sure they’re safe to eat.
A meat thermometer gets hot in the oven. Use care when reading it or removing it after the meat comes out of the oven.
all you have to do is hang in anywhere in the oven and leave it there. turn your oven on. and when the temp light goes out on the front of the oven read the thermometer.
it is as accurate as any other thermometer.
just put it in and read it.
and yes it is the current temp of your oven.
