Polder Dual Probe Cooking Thermometer, Black Review

Polder Dual Probe Cooking Thermometer, Black
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.

WARING PRO COOL TOUCH DEEP FRYER 1800 WATTS ELECTRONIC LCD TIMER Review

WARING PRO COOL TOUCH DEEP FRYER 1800 WATTS ELECTRONIC LCD TIMER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned several deep fryers in the $80 to $100 price range, but had gone without a deep fryer for several years. I purchased my WPF100B at Costco for $30. The Amazon Marketplace price today is $89.99. I probably would not have been disappointed even if I paid $89.99. The design is very intelligent. The breakaway cord is very short for safety and it is easy to attach to the fryer without looking. The heating element is attached to the front panel and drops inside the oil container, so you cannot use solid oil (solid at room temp) such as shortening or lard. I use oil anyway, so that is not a disadvantage for me, and this feature makes it so easy to clean. The element must be cleaned by hand but the oil container is steel and can be cleaned in the dishwasher - along with the fryer lid. The lid even has a small window so that you can see the food cooking. The cool touch feature is so cool that I was able to pick up the fryer and move it while it was cooking. It even has small finger recesses on the bottom to improve your grip when moving it. The fryer basket is small for the relatively large amount of oil required - about 3 quarts. If you have the extra space you may want to consider a larger Waring Pro model so that you can cook larger portions. The manual recommends to filter the oil and refrigerate it after each use - up to 10 uses. The manual also recommends that you discard the filtered/refrigerated oil after 6 months.

Polder Cooking Thermometer with Timer and Clock Review

Polder Cooking Thermometer with Timer and Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great item to have in your kitchen. It makes cook so much easier. You can tell exactly when a roast is done or a chicken is cooked to a high enough temp.
You can set the clock to beep at a certain time, or at a set temperature. I like that it has a magnet on the back. I'm able to store my unit on the refridgerator and use it as a timer too.
It is a small unit and that makes for easy storage.
Although I haven't had any problems with mine yet, I'd just be warned that all over the directions it talks about the damage that water and other liquids can cause. I'm very careful with my unit, but I can see how, with very little effort, it can be ruined by liquids.
I did some research before buying this. I found that there were cheaper ones out there that won't work as well or may have more problems. I also found better quality ones that don't seem so fragile, but they were also much more expensive. For the money, I thought this was one of the best buys.
If something did happen and I ruined this one, I'd buy a new one with out hesitation. It is just that useful to have around.

Polder Timer with Vibrating Alarm - White Review

Polder Timer with Vibrating Alarm - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Simply put, this is the best, simple timer with a vibrate and light function, added. I don't know why they discontinued it. It tends to eat the battery a bit when you set all functions to go off at once, but then it comes back when you just put one on... I didn't consider it a problem at all, as I use it for meditation, and didn't need a super loud beeping. Love it. Bring it back.

Taylor Long-Ring One-Hour Keywind Kitchen Timer Review

Taylor Long-Ring One-Hour Keywind Kitchen Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's like the timer my practical grandma used. Easy to read and easy to use, with a loud bell. To fully activate the ringer you need to rotate the dial the full hour, then turn it back to the amount ot time you want to measure. When the bell goes off you'll hear it for about 7 seconds.
And it's not just for the chef. I use it to focus on many household tasks such as fifteen minute decluttering sessions or keeping my phone calls to ten minutes. Additionally it's a great motivational tool to help keep the kids on track with their chores in a game of beat the clock.

West Bend Electronic Double Timer Review

This double timer is great. It does exactly what I want it to do-- no more, no less. It is easy to set and use and clear to read. I like it much better than the triple timers that I have previously had. Note:it does not have a clock and frankly I like that better too. The clock function was always the hardest to remember how to change.

Arcosteel Contemporary 60 Minute Timer Review

Arcosteel Contemporary 60 Minute Timer

So far this timer has worked consistently...but I wish someone had told me that it consistently rings two minutes early before I used it for the first time!

Once I figured that out, though, I haven't had any problems with it.It's very heavy and durable, so while I'm not sure how useful the magnet in the base would be (I can just picture it sliding down the front of my fridge), I can't see it breaking easily.

I read another review that said theirs doesn't ring if it's set for less than 10 minutes.I haven't had any problem.It has a shorter ring, but it definitely goes off when it's supposed to (except for the two minute deal).

Really, can't beat the price.Now that I know to set the timer two minutes past when I want it to go off, I'm satisfied.If you get it, I'd just recommend running a timed trial before you actually rely on it since I obviously can't guarantee that all of them are going to be off the same way mine is.
