Malfunctioned on first use

I had to return this product. It had an error message for the temperature reading (and I carefully read & followed the directions). I received a refund and bought a more expensive digital thermometer from Williams Sonoma.

Love the product did a Turkey and it turned out perfect. The only thing that I would like to see added is an incorporated time for other cooking.

Purchased on recommendation from Cook's

Illustrated, so I felt I could hardly go wrong. I'm pleased with the purchase.

no guessing

I've only used the thermometer for chicken breasts and the thermometer has worked perfectly. It's so much better than cooking by time.

Excellent little timer

I will NEVER use any other timer. This came just in time for Christmas dinner and it was wonderful. The beep when it reached temp is a great feature. Pricey but worth every penny.

Read the directions,(clear), tried a "dry" run, worked just fine. Used for the first time on turkey, ham and prime rib - not one problem - excellent.

The best Thermometer

This thermometer is absolutely fantastic. I love the alarm indicating my meat has reached the correct temperature, I'll never overcook my meat again!

meat thermometer

Ihis thermometer was so easy to use, and for the first time, I made the perfect juicy turkey breast. I loved this product!

Nice unit except the preset temps are a little high. This can be quickly reset to any setting.

I had one of these before, used it for all roasting. This one is a bit different because you can set it for "beef med" or "beef well", etc. No looking up the right temperature. I had put the probe of the old one in some candy to check the accuracy of my candy thermometer, DON'T do this, it ruined the probe, so now I have 2 thermometers and one probe. Polder makes a good product and your meat will come out perfect, just the way you want it.

Takes a little getting used to compared to the simpler Polder thermometer. I like the fact that there is an area to select my own temperature. I do feel that there could be a second or third choice of temps in the preset beef and pork setting. Maybe I need to adjust the doneness button but I am still experimenting with it , The downside is when you are cooking a 5 pound beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner can't afford to experiment. Literally.

Be reminded that this is not an instant read thermometer.

This is a great product. Very easy to use and accurate. Takes all the guesswork out of roasting meat to the perfect temperature.

No more undercooked dry chicken

I've been having issues with overcooking my chicken......not anymore. The alarm is nice to let you know it's done so you can go about doing other things & not have to sit & watch your oven. The chicken has been moist & juicy everytime, it's a good buy!

I was quite disappointed when a slight bump to the range hood had it tumbling to the floor and cracking. While it functions as far as I can tell (to within a few degrees of the test 212 for boiling water) I'm continually knocking it off the range hood (the only place I can mount it for use). I have a dual timer with a magnet so strong that's very strong. Why can't the same magnet be used for this device?

Guaranteed Moist Turkey

This thermometer made such a difference and allowed us to take out the Thanksgiving turkey when it was done and not dry!

Excellent Thermometer!

Great for monitoring meat - especially turkey. Works very well and a great price!

Digital Thermometer

Works as expected...would buy again

This was given as a gift and he loves it.

Simple and efficient!

Many times i wanted to cook by temperature rather than time to achieve a better cooked dish. This thermometer is simple to use and accurate. I like the fact it can be used in the oven so you can monitor the temp without constantly opening the door.
