Polder 365 Replacement Probe for the Digital 3-in-1 Thermometer (601) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've heard of others complaining that these probes will end up failing under "normal" use... something goes wrong at some point, and they just don't read right anymore.
I love my Taylor digital thermometer, and these probes seem to work with the Taylor, but I went through 3 probes very quickly. I use them in my Weber barbeque when doing indirect heat cooking. In spite of the fact that I took care to not route the cable over a burner, or anything of that sort, each probe lasted only 5 or 6 uses.
I had ordered three at one time, and all of them failed in a similar way.
THERE ARE OTHER PROBES AVAILABLE that are better! There is one available on the Internet that is sold as a Taylor probe replacement. These probes look the same (with the 90-degree elbow bend and the right-angle mini-plug), but they have a smooth grey silicone-rubber sheathed cable, instead of a metal braid sheath. I bought several of these (reasonably priced, around $12 or so), and so far, they have worked like champs with no failures and accurate readings from freezing to boiling.
I would not recommend these probes based on my experience with very high failure rates.

Zyliss Meat Thermometer & Multi-Timer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a poor thermometer. The device is an attractive round body with a mode selection wheel around the perimeter. It is much to clever to be useful. The modes are difficult to set. There is no intuitive way to set any of the temperature settings or time settings. If you ever used one of those Chinese stopwatches or wristwatches that require you to press one or two buttons in sequence and divine the setting by looking at flashing symbols with no obvious purpose you can understand what it is like to use this device.
My wife is very irritated when she tried to use this in the past. The probe went dead after just a few uses. That was the best thing about it. Now we don't feel bad about throwing it away.
You'll regret buying this if you do. Find another thermometer.

A busy kitchen will never seem overwhelming again with this ingenious digital timer. This device also includes a handy silicone coated, temperature probe. Pre-programmed with USDA recommended temperatures for cooking beef, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey and veal. Or, set your own program for custom temperatures. The timer can simultaneously time three events and it’s quick and easy to set, with the handy and unique rotating dial.

Polder Cooking Thermometer with Timer and Clock Review

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.
