Customer Reviews of Polder 307 Deluxe Preset Thermometer, White
Customer Rating:   Summary: Polder probe is weak link Comment: I have not 1 but 2 Polder thermometers with bad probes. (I know that they're bad because I tested them in a pot of boiling water). One reads "192 degrees" and the other reads "232 degrees". No way to fix or recalibrate so both thermometers are worthless. BAHHHHH!Polder Original Cooking Timer and Thermometer Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent kitchen tool - wish the probe had lasted more than 13 months. Comment: This was a great tool. I've made the best roasts and hams ever since I started using it. No more opening the oven and trying to determine if the meat was done to the right degree. Unfortunately, the probe only lasted about 13 months - just out of warranty - after less than a dozen uses. So now it is useless and I am not sure I want to try this brand again. Customer Rating: Summary: Great themometer, terrible probe!!! Comment: This is a very useful tool for cooking meats of all kinds. However, caveat emptor: the removable probe can be problematic. I got a brand-new one of these products and within the 2nd use, the probe had failed. I was not able to easily get a replacement from Polder as it had been a gift, so ended up purchasing a new probe and then it worked fine. If they could perfect that part of the system, this would be a perfect cooking tool! Customer Rating: Summary: Does someone hear a bird? cheap cheap cheap Comment: I had this item for about two weeks and loved it. Until, the cord failed and the unit went crazy and gave all wild readings. After reading some reviews here I figured I would contact Polder to see if I could get a replacement cord. I NEVER heard from them. Cheap cheap cheap. Not bad customer service.... NO customer service. They didn't even bother to tell me to go away. I will never buy Polder again. Customer Rating: Summary: Polder 307 thermometer Comment: My first Polder 307 failed when my barbeque overheated. The probe never worked again. I don't fault the product in this case since I didn't mind the temperature adequately. The recently purchased Polder 307 works perfectly. Once the probe is properly placed, the readout is very accurate. My only disappointment is the cost of replacement probes. It was far more cost effective to purchase an entirely new unit than a probe. I'd like to see two-packs of probes at a reduced price. That certainly would keep me "brand-loyal." More Reviews Polder 307 cooking thermometer is programmed for your convenience. So now you don't have to guess whether foods are cooked properly. Just scroll the menu to select beef, lamb, veal, pork, turkey, and chicken - from rare to well done. (An additional screen lets you add one more setting for your favorite dish.) A loud 1-minute alarm tells you when the food reaches the proper inner temperature. The preprogrammed thermometer comes with a 3-foot-long wire that does not interfere with the oven door so while the probe stays in the meat inside the oven, the digital readout sits on the countertop so that you can keep track of the inner temperature of the food that's cooking. In other words, you don't have to open the oven door to check on the progress of your roast. 1 Year Polder USA Warranty. 
Choosing Appliance -> Spatulas Buy a sturdy stainless spatula for general uses and a Teflon spatula for your non-stick pan. In addition, buy a silicon baking spatula for scraping bowls. Silicon is an amazing substance which is heat resistant up to 550 degrees. Choosing Appliance -> Spoons Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice). Polder 307 Deluxe Preset Thermometer, White
Kitchen tips -> Sharpening Knife A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, because you apply to it more pressure and force to cut through foods. It can easily slip out of place as you use it and you can harm yourself. Keep your knives in good working condition by sharpening according to their use and time. There's no specified amount of time, because knives vary as much as their use; although, you can easily determine if they need sharpening by the way they cut/slice foods. If a knife can slice through a tomato and tear the skin, then it needs sharpening. If, on the other hand, the cut is clean and quick without any tears, then it needs not be sharpened. |
