Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Polder Dual Sensor Thermometer and Timer
Customer Review: For grillmeisters everywhere!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you grill a lot, you'll really appreciate the convenience of this thermometer! First, since it has two sensors, it will tell you the ambient temperature inside the grill AND also the temperature of the meat you've inserted the probe into. Of course, you can set alarms to tell you when the meat has reached a certain temperature, etc. Not a gadget, this will improve the quality of your grilling.Customer Review: Good while it lasted...
Summary: 1 Stars
Thought I'd spend a bit more and buy a quality product. The dual thermometers worked great for the first several months (about 15 uses). Then the food portion of the digital read-out started going haywire, consistently registering 178 degrees before I'd insert the prong into the meat (the oven portion worked fine). I made the mistake of not reading reviews before I bought this product.Customer Review: Less likely to break the cable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a cheapo probe thermometer with a curved-end sensor and almost immediately had problems with the cable pulling out of the end of the sensor. The thing I like so far about this thermometer is the straight, in-line attachment of the cable the the sensor. It seems less likely to have the same separation issues that I experienced with the other sensor. So far, so good!Customer Review: Couldn't BBQ without it!

I've been using this Polder going on eight years, and for my purposes, it's the Mack Daddy! I frequently BBQ in a ceramic, Kamado-style smoker/grill, and when smoking low and slow, you can't be opening the lid! This thermometer has been dead on accurate, both for the temp inside my smoker, as well as the meat. I highly recommend this item for the grilling/smoking chef!Customer Review: It's quit working - Unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing worked for a while but now it is acting very strangely. I tried to get information from Polder online and found no supporting documentation. My guess is that the probe is the problem, but a replacement probe is $20 and a new complete unit is $25. I guess I will fall back on the old reliable analog manual stick-in-the-meat thermometer and trash the Polder.
