Polder Dual Probe Cooking Thermometer, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you cook meat, you need a thermometer like this one. Turn off the barbeque and/or smoker. Buy one.

I've tried the wireless models, and they're great but unreliable in our setting - some RF source appears to mess them up from time to time. I bough this one to have a failsafe.

My only complaint with this particular model is that the probes are a bit fragile. One probe failed almost immediately due to heat damage at the point where the cable enters the sheath, and there's no stress relief to avoid the obvious threat of damage due to flexing.

I added a heat shrink sleeve to protect the cable/sheath transition, and the second probe is doing well after a year of steady use.

Product Description:
This cooking thermometer from Polder works double time so users can worry less when preparing complex meals. It's designed to monitor one or two items at a time, so users are never left guessing when they need to pop the side dish into the oven to get it ready at the same time as the main entree. This thermometer's two 24-hour countdown timers can monitor one or both items at the same time, and preset Meat/Taste "doneness" buttons allow users to precisely select desired meat doneness. Just set the thermometer to the type of meat cooking, beef, lamb, poultry, etc., then press a button as to desired doneness: rare, medium rare, medium, or well done. Finally, simply insert a probe. It records inner temperatures from 14 degrees F to 392 degrees F. An automatic timer alerts users when meat is done. One can also manually set each timer for specific cooking times on appetizers, casseroles, rolls, or desserts--any combination being prepared for a meal. Users will find it especially convenient to preprogram times for weekly family staples, or dishes frequently cooked.
Made from durable plastic and stainless steel, the thermometer employs two heat-resistant, silicon-coated probes that will withstand high heat oven usage. The extra-large LCD display is easy to read and the thermometer includes a magnet and stand arm for varied position/location use. Use the magnet for refrigerator display and the stand-up arm for countertop display. Two AA batteries are required for power and a set comes included. A USDA cooking chart is also included. Overall, the thermometer measures 4-1/2 inches long by 2-3/4 inches wide by 3/4 inches high. Instructions are provided in English, French and Spanish.
