I would say that it isn't just because if you look in the catalog the one next to it specifically mentions that it is and that one doesn't

Recipes 

Just stick it in there but dont submerge it and close the lid, it's what i do.

Or drill a hole and just a bulk head and a compression fitting.

if you can, put aquarium airline tubing around the cord and seal with zip ties, so that only the metal probe is exposed.

that worked for the oven thermometer I got at Target, full digital readout, plus a timer and temp alert, for $14.
