Works well and fast,

This review is from: Polder 371 Quick Tip Instant Read Thermometer, Black (Kitchen)
I have been using this instant read thermometer for the past couple of months and am impressed by the speed at which this tool registers the temperature of the different items that I am cooking. It seems to be accurate as each meal that I have used this for has been cooked correctly. (I have used this for chicken, beef, pork, and other assorted dishes.) The thermometer appears to be extremely sensitive as moving the tip to different parts of the meat can give significantly different readings -- so a word of caution about making sure that you are inserting the probe into the proper location. In the past few years I have used several instant read thermometers (both digital and non-digital) and this is the best one (of the four or five) I have tried.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Polder 371 Quick Tip Instant Read Thermometer, Black (Kitchen)
I bought the similarly priced Taylor model and was very disappointed, so I bought this one. This product is absolutely hands down better than the Taylor model, especially the large high contrast display. The Taylor model came with a dead battery and the display is small and faint with very little contrast. Do not waste your money with Taylor, buy this thermometer and you will be pleased that you did.

Not quite "instant",

This review is from: Polder 371 Quick Tip Instant Read Thermometer, Black (Kitchen)
I have nothing bad to say about the accuracy of this thermometer. I did an ice-water calibration straight out of the package, and it was dead on accurate. The only negative comment I have so far is that it takes a long time for the final temperature reading to display (depending on how many degrees of difference it started with). Whether it was the roast or an oatmeal cookie that I tried it on, I'd estimate that it took close to three seconds per five degrees of change. Thirty seconds out of a hot oven is long enough to seriously impact your cooking time with smaller items, because by the time you get it back in the oven, the recovery time to get it back to where it left off significantly increases. Leaving it in a resting piece of meat to check for any carry-over temperature increase would be fine, though. If you're looking for something closer to "instant", you might want to try a different thermometer.
Update: After a couple months of occasional use, the display suddenly stopped working properly. I found that I had to turn the thermometer slightly off-angle to be able to read it. However, the time it took to get a temperature reading shortened dramatically. I'd say that it was getting up to temp within 5-8 seconds, tops. After about two more weeks, the thermometer would not turn on. I now believe that it was an issue with the battery. I'm going to try to replace the battery, and see if I can get the display to function correctly, and with a little luck, the reaction time will still be good.
