Baked a couple stuffed chicken breasts ("Hawaiian Luau" with pineapple, bell pepper, & onion, wrapped with bacon) this evening using the GE Profile's temp probe.  Worked nicely.  165°F target, convection multi-rack at 375°F.

those built in probes are very useful. Unfortunately getting harder to find on mid priced stoves.

Mmmm,  looks tasty.  Approx how long did it take to reach 165?

That's my oven also.

I like the probe and the convection. Paid about $2,500.00 US with 6% tax in 2007.
When I make prime rib, I preheat the oven to 500f., then switch over to convection roast @ 425f., insert the probe and set at an internal temp. of 140f.
I have not left one in after "hold warm" engages though.
It's a good oven, very satisfied.
One new GE Cafe' built in wall model has a side by side door like a Blodget commercial oven.

I didn't monitor it directly but estimate the time was ~45 mins.  Directions stated bake 35 mins but the range's user guide advises not to preheat when using the probe.  The display references the probe temp during operation and I didn't make note at the start if the 375°F set-temp dropped by 25°F upon entry for convection conversion.

The previous owner/builder (occupied the house for 9 months) either lost the probe or packed it when he moved out so I bought a replacement, which was $78 12 years ago.

Pre heating

shouldn't harm the oven. I think GE's safety/legal department had that put in the owners guide because of where you plug the probe in is a hot surface at the top of the oven.
I wear oven gloves that go half way to my elbows with silicone grips.
I've gotten burned on the oven top when adjusting racks and learned the hard way.
The probe is also very hot when you unplug it. You also need to stop to look at the probe receptacle when plugging it in, unless it's a wall oven, and heat or hot steam can hit you in the face.

I wonder if a modern GE oven temp probe would work in a vintage P*7 wall oven...

Rich,

it might work. If you could find a pic of the P-7 probe, maybe from a user manual and compare them. To me, the modern probe looks like a regular full size headphone audio plug.
My 90's profile microwave has a probe, but when I tried it in the regular oven, it began to melt, so I removed it immediately. Not compatible.

Well, the probe outlet inside the oven has two small female blade connectors, at 90 degrees to each other. So a phono plug adapter wouldn't work. But perhaps the new one could be modified to fit. That is, if it works at all in the older oven.

Someone here has the old probe, because it was given away a on this forum a year or two ago...
