Good in theory, Bad probes - J. Prisco - Warwick, RI
The concept of this product is good. Nice display, and timer. Different modes for cooking, and has the temperature levels for different foods pre programmed.
However, both of my probes failed after very little use. They are not well designed, and cannot take the normal wear and tear of the kitchen.
Good thermometer, bad probes - T. Buttram - Denver, CO
I've bought two of these thermometers now. I've never had a problem with the thermometer itself but the probes fail pretty easily. They either cause the display to read HH or they display the incorrect temp. Maybe Polder should sell replacement probes.
Polder dual probe failures - Don J. - Louisiana
This thermometer worked well for a couple of months then the probes started failing. The cost of replacement probes with shipping makes it not economical. I don't know if the silicon leads is the weak point or not. I don't recommend. I will look for another manufacturer than Polder. I do like the dual probes and not having preset cooking temps.
DO NOT BUY - J. Schueeller - Ridge, NY United States
First, we've had Polder digital temperature probes for years. We like them, which is why this item was such a surprise.
Our normal procedure was, buy one or two, use them until they die. Buying two let you test two pieces of meat, or have a replacement part when one probe died.
We thought, Hey, buy two of this, we have four probes, we have spares! Too bad this is such a POS. BTW, we bought from Amazon, but I don't hold this against them...
I expected what I've always gotten from Polder, a reliable probe that lets me set my desired temperature, and beeps when my food gets there. I've used them on the grill, in the oven, and they've been reliable.
Problems with this:
First, it took two probes to get through one steak. They just don't last. I'm used to a year and a half; I got maybe a minute and a half. Disappointing...
Second, it lets you choose a meat and a doneness, not a temperature. If you want, say 143 degrees, tough. You can set it for 140, or 145, but not in between.
Third, you'd think it would sit there, and beep when your food hit the temperature you selected. Wrong. It starts beeping when you are 10 degrees low, and goes to a more insistent beep when you hit your target. So you get a long, annoying period of "Hey, your food isn't done yet. Hey, your food isn't done yet." This was just the icing on the cake, the machine was already deep in my regret pile.
I've used and loved Polder for years; I will no longer assume their name means quality. I hope their profit on these two items was worth it to them.
