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 !

Nice product - 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 Product - K. M. Seeley -
I love this thermometer. I find it easy to use and like the different settings for wellness.
Sweet design...useless thermometer - 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!
