The Polder 12453 Stainless Steel Dual Oven Thermometer is a wonderful tool for the indoor and outdoor cook. It is accurate, study, and easy to read. The price cannot be beat, and it is highly rated by many cooking sources, including America's Test Kitchen. I do quite a lot of grilling and barbequing and have found this to be a great tool to measure both the grill and smoker temperature, and to gauge when the meat is done. My wife, who does much of the indoor cooking, has found this to be an effective and efficient tool. We recommend it highly.

Just love how easy this is to read and esp like monitoring both the oven temp and item being cooked temp with one thermometer. What a great idea!

First the bottom half of the thermometer was defective. Amazon replaced it. Then the top half of the replacement went defective. Amazon refunded the purchase price of the item, as I didn't want anymore replacements on this item. I should add that I used both items only 2-3 times. Amazon was very helpful in this matter. P.S. Obviously I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. (Polder 12453 dual?? oven thermometer)

This thermometer's glass cracked with my first use. I am not happy with this product.

I purchased this thermometer in late September but first used it on Thanksgiving; the bottom half, which is supposed to read the oven temp, doesn't work. Just as Mr. Marcus, an earlier reviewer indicated. I am currently attempting to reach Amazon to discuss how to proceed, as I am out of the return window for this item.

The addition of the oven temp is a nice touch works well and good value for money

Worked once and then no more ... another item to add to the overcrowding landfill. Save the earth, your money, and your time.

This product came highly recommended to me so I purchased two; one for grilling and one for inside use. Anyway, one did not work at all and the other only worked once. Also, the recommended internal temps are too high so one would overcook everything if you followed the product!

Two days old and the lens cracks in half after washing with hot water and Dawn. Doesn't anyone know how to make a decent thermometer?

I bought this about a month or so ago. The instant read works great. I've used it many times and I'm pleased with it.

However, this evening I put it in the oven to gauge the oven temp...and the glass covering the dial cracked. I think it is still usable, but that seems wrong. It isn't like I was transferring it from some really cold place...I put it in the oven as I preheated it, and bang...cracked somewhere between room temperature and 400. EDIT: I should add that in addition to being cracked, the oven thermometer also stopped working soon after that. Still use and like the instant read though.
