Now with on and off switch! A huge kitchen favorite and must-have! Once you use this in your kitchen, you will never want to be without it. The original version of this product has probably been the most widely chosen oven-cooking alarm in the market. It's not easy to improve on that but ThermoWorks has. From customer comments, the most frequently suggested new feature has been an On/Off switch to save on battery life. (The old one couldn't be shut off but batteries lasted months.) So, they've updated the housing to a more robust design and added a slide switch so the unit can be powered off. The proven circuit is the same and the button arrangement is slightly improved. The well-loved simplicity has been kept so you won't need to find the instructions each time you set an alarm. The new stylish housing folds the display up for counter use or flat for less obtrusive magnetic mounting to an appliance door.

Cook's Illustrated said this: "The best of the bunch, an easy to use thermometer from ThermoWorks ($20)" and "This user-friendly model allows you to view both time and temperature simultaneously and is free of the annoying and unnecessary USDA recommended presets for various types of meat that are all too common in other brands.

 "I Give Up" 2009-08-22
By R. L. Shagon (East Windsor , NJ)
This is an edit of an initially favorable review....would reduce to 1 star if I could.



1st probe was defective on arrival. The free replacement probe failed on it's second use. Probably not worth the hassle of trying again (isn't it 1 definition of insanity to keep repeating the same action and expect a different rsult?)

 "Great at first..." 2009-07-16
By Gregg S. Chappell
I purchased this recently after seeing it used (or a similar item...) on "Good Eats". It worked great 1 time, and now reads 256 Degrees F when I turn the unit on. Bottom line - It is not a well designed or put together unit with a short lifespan. I suggest a different unit.

 "probe issues just like many other folks" 2009-06-10
By Tim (CA)
I read all of the reviews and liked what I saw, so I purchased this ThermoWorks rather than competing models. Over and over people wrote about how flaky the probe was, but I thought, "hey, I read dirctions and I'm very careful, it won't happen to me."



But it did.



I did not get it wet. I did not place it or the wire on a heating element. I DID use it in an oven over 392 degrees. The instructions don't tell you that it will break if you use it in an oven over 392 degrees. This is what broke my probe.



The reading on the temp screen read: "HI." The reading never went away. I called the Amazon seller (Handy House) and spoke with lady who was fantastic, and confirmed that other folks have had similar issues with the probe. She graciously contacted the owner of the company on my behalf to advocate for me to try to have them send me a free replacement. I'll find out within the week, I hope, but I intend to buy extra probes just in case.



So A+ to Handy House for their low price and excellent customer service. A grade of "C" for the ThermoWorks for being so gentile. I will write, however, that the layout and functionality of the device are outstanding.



I DO suggest getting this ThermoWorks, just make sure to get at least one extra probe, even if you think you are super careful and won't break the probe, you probably will.

 "LED Screen" 2009-05-12
By Steve (AR, USA)
The first time I used this, the screen went mostly out after the temperature went over 100F. The full screen returns when the temp of the roast or ambient goes back below 100.

The alarm does work fine, however.

 "Nice timer" 2009-04-27
By D. Ruper
I bought this to replace a simple timer. I have yet to use the thermometer function. The controls are intuitive and clearly labeled. I have two complaints. First, the magnetic base of my unit was warped. It was marking my cook top hood. I fixed this myself with the magnet from my previous timer. Second, I would like an automatic shut-off. I have a tendency to forget the timer once I've stopped it. I will recommend this unit for ease of use and good value for money.

 "Everything as promised" 2009-09-18
By MT Pockets (Big Sky)
The first time I used this I set the temperature and forgot to turn on the alarm. Luckily I happened to get concerned and checked on it before the dish got too hot.



The alarm is loud enough to be heard from a couple rooms away and setup is simple.



I really like the idea that the probe is replaceable and so I will order a couple so that when I destroy the first one I won't have to wait for a replacement.



The only down side is the lack of strength in the magnets, but I couldn't see rating it lower just for that,

 "The best digital thermometer??? I think not." 2009-08-14
By Terry M. Edward (south Louisiana)
This is an excellent digital thermometer. The braided stainless steel cord connecting the probe to the display is far superior to the plainly insulated versions out there. It's functioning as a digital thermometer is absolutely perfect. However..... we use our digital thermometers as timers in the kitchen and this one is clearly a second tier product with its ONLY countdown timer. I would DEFINITELY recommend it but would not buy it again due to the timer restrictions. To leave that functionality out in this day and age is perplexing. Still, the quality is excellent and the probe/cord is the best I have ever had. Buy it if you never use a count up timer function in your kitchen, it would then rank at the top of the heap.

 "Accurate" 2009-07-05
By Flyingscot (Madison, USA)
While not the most expensive, America's Test Kitchen says it's the best. I agree.

 "Excellent internal thermometer" 2009-06-30
By M. McDonald
Purchased this item after reading a cooksillustrated review of internal meat thermometers. It's an excellent product. There have been no flying batteries or cord twisting or inaccurate readings- just well cooked meat with an easy to set up alarm and easy to hear alarm, which is great because I can't rely on cooking times with my "vintage" oven.

 "Save on shipping with Amazon" 2009-06-14
By Chef Beth (Maryland)
I bought my ThermoWorks through Amazon at TheHandyHouse and love it! The delivery was really fast and with free shipping it was the same cost as the one mentioned by the first reviewer as cheaper. So many websites offer cheaper items and then soak you with shipping charges. I think the service from Amazon and HandyHouse is excellent. Buy here, I do. HandyHouse has some really good buys and free shipping is the way to go! I bought some pans from there and free shipping made a BIG difference.

Buy Cheap The Original Super-Fast Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Red) by Thermoworks

This is the original Super-Fast Thermapen in the color red. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen is chosen by restaurant chains, health inspectors, quality managers and chefs all over the world. The clever pocket design replaces more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. The Super-Fast Thermapen displays actual internal food or liquid temperatures in only 3 or 4 seconds. Other thermometers make you wait another 20 seconds or more to catch up to the Thermapen. That's a huge difference in a fast paced commercial kitchen or when you're over a hot grill. If you're cooking an expensive cut of meat you want a perfect outcome. You don't want a slow temperature reading that might be misinterpreted and your meat overcooked. A must-have for the serious cook, restaurants or professional chef. So easy to use! The instrument is switched on by unfolding the probe whereby the display illuminates. Folding the probe back will turn off the unit. The Thermapen will shut itself off automatically after a few minutes if left on. When using, the very tip should be immersed or penetrated to at least 1/8 inch. The plastic housing it not waterproof, so care should be taken when cleaning. It comes with a battery so you can use immediately. Ask about the protective vinyl wallet case or the leather case, sold separately.

 "Well worth the extra cost." 2009-08-12
By J. Wise (Folsom, CA)
Foodies know that the proper temperature is the key to cooking. Relying on the "feel" of the meat has never got me very far but the temperature never lies. These thermometers are the best at quickly and accurately reading the temperature.



Taking a New York, Rib Eye or Filet off at 131 and letting it sit for 5 minute will yield a perfect steak every time. Once you learn the temps for each type of meat, you will never over or under cook your meat again.

 "Great, but one small problem" 2009-07-27
By OCD Foodie (Los Angeles, CA)
Fast, accurate and easy to use. The only problem with the Thermapen is that if you get certain parts a little wet it has to completely dry before it can be used again.

 "Great but DON'T get it wet!" 2009-07-09
By JimBob (Colorado)
Loved mine but it got RAINED on and stopped working! Go the the Thermapen site. This model is only $74 now, but they have a WATERPROOF one for $96, worth the extra money. It is a fantastic device!!

 "Got it cheaper: $74" 2009-07-04
By Terunja (San Francisco Bay Area, California USA)
Our last kitchen thermometer finally gave out, and the battery could not be replaced. So I decided to splurge, and was rewarded by finding the Thermapen $10-15 cheaper, including shipping. Go to the Thermaworks website to purchase this for $74, any color. A new splash-proof model is out that is $96, so they're discounting the original model.

 "Excellent product - why did I wait so long?" 2009-06-05
By Gadgeteer (Los Angeles)
I knew about this for a few years but kept resisting the relatively high cost. I bought a few "instant" thermometers along the way, but they all failed miserably at being "instant."



You really can't comprehend how useful it is to have such a quick temp reading until you cook with one of these. Like another reviewer said - this would make an incredible gift, because lots of people would love to have this (they may not realize this until they use it a few times), but not many would pay the high price for "just a thermometer."

 "Easy to use, but always on :(" 2009-09-17
By Aileen Chen (SF Bay Area)
Great digital thermometer. I had a Taylor thermometer whose temp sensor I ruined by putting in my BBQ grill...and I definitely won't be doing that with this. The unit itself is very well made. The read out is easy to use, and the temp shows up very quickly. My mom loves the timer functionality - she uses it at all the time w/ the probe removed, so this is a good multi-functional gadget!



I am a little bummed that this has no off-switch...I feel like its wasting away because it usually sits in my drawer, but otherwise it's an excellent product that has never led me astray!



General advice:

Also, the probe is the same as the Taylor - I took this and plugged it into my other one and it worked fine.



If you are looking to replace your thermometer because you burned out a sensor, just buy the probe...don't bother with getting a new unit.

 "Great Product" 2009-09-12
By Constancio Fernandes (Pune, India)
Excellent Product, Value for money. The Temperature readings are very accurate. Although this product does not have a 'off' switch, the device can be used to show you the kitchen temperature at any time.

 "Good versatile timer" 2009-08-29
By C. K. Morrison (Tulsa, OK)
I like this timer/thermometer very much, but this is the second one I've bought since the temperature probe of the last one was so fragile it broke with minimal use. The replacement probe cost almost as much as a whole new unit (especially since it didn't qualify for Prime shipping, and the whole new unit did) so I just bought a second one. This one came with a probe cord wrapped in rubber instead of the woven wire of the old one. Maybe that will be more durable. When it works, it works very well.

 "Worked a few times..." 2009-08-23
By M. Snyder (PA)
This thing is crap. It worked 4 times, on the 5th time (2 months after purchase), it started displaying erratic temperatures, changing drastically every few seconds.

Polder tells me I have to return it to Amazon, and Amazon says it is after the 30 day window for returns.

So I am stuck with an expensive fridge magnet.



DO NOT buy ANY Polder product, the stuff is junk, and they don't stand behind their products. Spend a little more and go for quality instead.

 "Love my Polder" 2009-08-11
By P. Smith
I highly recommend this product. I've used this Polder Original Cooking All in One Timer/Thermoneter quite a few times since I purchased it about a month or so ago. So far I'm extremely happy with it. The only thing that would make it better is if you could use it when you're broiling meat. When my broiled meat looks ready I just take the broiler pan out and then insert the probe to check the temperature of my meat. Meat and poultry comes out perfectly every time. No more guesswork. I noticed that some reviewers said this was a delicate item so I've taken very good care of it. I clean the sensor probe by hand, being careful not to get the connection to the cord wet. I put 3 push pins in an arched shape on my corkboard and hang the probe across the pins so the wire doesn't get bent. Figured my gadget draw was not the place for it. I'll be using it all the time so it's right there for me to grab. I expect to get years of use out of it. If any problems come up, I'll update my review.
