Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Polder Dual Sensor Thermometer and Timer
Customer Review: Great idea, Bad execution!
Summary: 1 Stars
The concept was so good that I ignored the negative reviews and I just had to try it myself. I successfully used the unit once! Unfortunately after I washed the probe it stopped working. Just like the other reviews, it started showing abnormally high readings. My other probe thermometers survive my washing and handling of them.
Other nits, setting a temperature is really cumbersome, it only goes up so if you missed your setting you have to do another lap.
Customer Review: Great Concept, poorly implemented
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the idea of a dual thermometer. Might have been good if it worked more than 3 times. This device lacks robustness needed for the job as advertized. On top of that setting the alert temperature is a real pain. It only goes up, not up and down. So if you overshoot your 165 setting its all the way up into the 400's before you start over again. The timer is a pain to use as well. I chucked this sucker and got seperate timer. Still looking for a thermometer.Customer Review: Not So Hot Thermometer
Summary: 2 Stars
This thermometer has definate problems. It will start flashing different temperature readings throughout your cooking process. You don't know what reading to believe. At that point, I just have to rely on instinct. That's what I was doing prior to purchasing this thermometer. It has worked for me in the past, but the more I use it, the more problems are occurring.
I just purchased the Mavericks ET-73. I'm going to give that one a whirl. Stay tuned.
Customer Review: bad news

I bought my first polder oven/meat thermometer about six months ago. After using it a couple of times, both the oven and food temps read way high. Figuring it a fluke, I took it back to Sur La Table where I bought it, got another one and it did the same thing right before I put the Thanksgiving turkey in the oven. Got a third one and it just did the same thing again. I'm going to replace it with another brand and never buy a polder product again.Customer Review: Please don't waste your money.

I purchased this for use with my smoker, right out of the box, it worked great. The controls are intuitive and well designed. Worked like a charm until the second time around when it started registering inaccurate temperatures. I was extremely careful with the probe, not getting it wet or crushing it. I've tested many thermometers and this is by far the worse. It now registers about 50-80 degrees too hot.
