Product Description

Take the guesswork out of grilling meats with Polder's BBQ Safe Serve instant read thermometer. In fact, this clever tool comes equipped with so many useful features, home chefs may want to keep it handy in their apron pocket for all sorts of cooking jobs both indoors and out. The thermometer's probe folds out from a 5-inch length to a full 10 inches to measure larger cuts and has two locking positions to obtain the easiest reading angle. The large LCD screen clearly displays the temperature in bold type and has a backlight button that's perfect for nighttime grill session. For added safety, the thermometer beeps when the meat has heated to a USDA recommended temperature, and cooking presets help the chef get the preparation just as guests have requested. The entire tool is a convenient handheld size with a handsome silver and black color scheme and ergonomic shape. An included sheath cover protects the probe when not in use. --Kara Karll

Nice product

Review Date: March 27, 2010

Reviewer: James Mcguire,

It works good so Far a few things I'm not sure I like is the buttons are small and I have skinny fingers there little hard to turn off,and you have to remember to press the side button to release the probe it's kinda hidden.and if you don't turn it off it will keep beeping about your temp.

great simple thermometer

Review Date: January 2, 2010

Reviewer: B. Estes, Durham, NC USA

I am on my second Polder BBQ Safe Serve thermometer. I specifically sought out this thermometer when my old one had served its time because of its simplicity, reliability, and battery usage. It takes regular AA batteries, not button or other hard to find batteries. I have always had good results with an accurate reading. I like that it is one prong, not two - less invasion into the meat and easier to find a "sweet" reading spot. (I always insert into the thickest area on the most recently cooked side of the meat.) No, it's not instant read, but it's only $13!

Great Product

Not instant read!

Review Date: August 21, 2007

Reviewer: Shan, Texas USA

This thermometer is not instant read! It may be as instant as less expensive thermometers get, but that isn't necessarily saying much. If you want a thermometer that's instant enough to make it worth having a hand-held thermometer, go with the Thermapen thermometers. They're more expensive but they are the actual instant read thermometers. If your "instant read" thermometer involves you either holding your hand in the oven/grill for 15-20 seconds, or removing the food from the oven anyway, why not just use a regular old meat thermometer?

We returned this thermometer, so I can't review how it holds up.

Sweet design...useless thermometer

Review Date: September 8, 2008

Reviewer: oliwa, Cincinnati, Ohio USA

The main reason I bought this item was for the design. I liked the idea of having a long probe so I wouldn't have to get real close to the heat. Despite the cool design, the performance as a thermometer is seriously lacking. I cooked a steak and according to this thing it was medium-well, but the steak was barely rare and when I cooked chicken it said it was 170 and the chicken was still raw in the center. Note to self: listen to the reviews!
