I've had this thermometer for about 2 years. I've used it for everything from prime rib roasts to cornish game hens. I almost always use the memory setting so I can set it for he exact doneness instead of using the preset temps. After using, I always carefully wipe the probe clean after it cools. I store it with the probe unplugged from the unit. I make sure it's completely turned off before storing. I've learned that placement of the probe into the food being roasted is very important. Shouldn't be placed against any bone and tip of probe should be in the fleshiest, center part of the roast. I roasted a whole turkey breast for Christmas Eve party at a friend's home. I set it for 155 deg. I let the turkey rest for 20 minutes with the probe in it, and the temp rose to 165. I had many compliments on how tasty and juicy the turkey was. I roasted a small 3 pound bone-in pork loin yesterday and set temp for 147. It came out so juicy and delicious after resting for 20 minutes - It was done perfectly - and I've used this thermometer at least 4 or 5 times a month for the last 2 years. Even if it goes haywire next time I use it, I certainly got my money's worth out of it! I'd happily buy another. I wish the alert beeped a bit louder.

These probe thermometers are a great idea and we all want them to work but the fact is they really dont. I have a four year old Polder that has failed after about eight uses (Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas Eve prime rib). The problem seems to be with the probe jack on the body rather than the probe. Because of the poor reliability ratings I have babied it all its life by storing it in a remote cupboard in a Crown Royal bag. The low liftime is really unaceptable and we should protest by not buying them. I suggest everyone go back to a good instant read thermometer and send the manufacturers a message that the quality must improve.

Bought this without having done my research figuring that they were a respectable company. BAH - it pooped out after around four months Will not buy a product from this company again.
Meat thermometer - Lester P. Smith - Orlando, Florida USA
I wanted a good meat thermometer for cooking and grilling. This is not the product for that purpose. It seems that it doesn't work for grilling because the thermocouple is poorly made and is destroyed from the heat. I used it once in a gas grill and now it is basically junk. A new thermocouple is expensive when shipping is included. This information is not available when purchasing, but it is in the directions after you receive it.
