Polder Meat Thermometer

If you think of meat thermometers most people immediately think of Polder®. Their newer digital cooking thermometers are great for cooks who have to rely on the accuracy of temperature. They are a necessity when cooking meat or poultry (think christmas or Thanksgiving dinner) to regulate internal temperature.

You can pre-set the temperature you want and the alarm will sound when it's finished. Polder meat thermometers also come in various sizes to allow easy transport around the kitchen. You can clip it to your apron or waistband while you chop the vegetables and it'll let you know when the meat is ready. They can also be chucked in the dishwasher for cleaning, so they easy maintenance for those of us who don't seem to have a spare moment.

Here are some quotes from actuall buyers of various Polder Meat Thermometers:

"The Polder thermometer works as advertised and I would not live without one..."

"Having a probe with a cord is a great idea. It is very convenient for monitoring temperatures in ovens or smokers if you don't want to raise the lid. Combined with the temperature alert feature (you can set a temperature to set of the alarm), the polder is very handy."

"...when we roast something that we don't cook very often (like a duck breast or special cut of meat) this almost guarantees perfection."

"This thermometer is perfect for use in a smoker, such as my Weber Smokey Mountain cooker. When using this type of cooker, you don't want to raise the lid any more than absolutely necessary. The Polder allows you to monitor the temp without raising the lid, a huge advantage over a standard meat thermometer."

"I like my steak medium-rare, my wife likes hers well done. This thermometer is great. I can take my steak off, stick the probe in hers, and go enjoy my steak. When it starts beeping at the beef well done setting I just go get her steak too. Now I don't have to wait while my steak cools to monitor hers, or try to start mine late."
