Has anyone used this for culinary purposes?

I have not but I see no reason it wouldn't work for some culinary purposes as it is surely more accurate than most oven and burner controls. I did test mine by pointing it at a pan of boiling water and it was spot on 212 degrees. I also calibrated it with melting ice which showed 32 degrees and suggest you perform the same tests. However, many recommended cooking temperatures are given as internal temperatures such as for meat and fish and this device would only read the surface temperature. That might read higher than the internals so I'd avoid using it in that manner.

How far is the effective range?

Please double check the range. Theoretically, it is infinite; realistically, it is not. Manufacturers website states that for best accuracy, the distance from heat source should be 14.17 inches. All the laser is for is to approximate the area measured. IR sensors actually pick up the waves from that area, which in this case is 2cm (~1") below the laser dot. Please see www(dot)etekcity(dot)com for more descriptive detail.

Would it work on the forehead and be accurate?

It does but keep in mind the surface of your skin isn't the same as your bodies internal temperature. I actually did try in my coworkers nose, ear and the back of his mouth. The back of his mouth did show a perfect 98.5 but the skin temp ranged from 70s to upper 80's

Will it measure the temperature of a room?

Yeah just remember it's measuring objects, not the actual air temperature. So if the vents in your house have been blowing hot/cold air for a couple minutes, it's probably within a few degrees of the air temp flowing thru them. I used mine to discover that one of my vents was blowing 100°F air, when my other vents were all at about 55-60°F. Now I have to figure out what's going on with that one vent!
