I see the 9 degree difference. What were the probes stuck into? If it's meat, different parts could have different temperatures.

A quick test would be to fill a mug with hot water and use a rubber band to put the probes together side by side so that the tips are right next to each other, then drop them in the water. If you still get a 9 degree difference then one of the probes is wrong.

The only way to tell which one is right is by dropping in an old fashioned candy thermometer.

BTW, how does the Polder know the temperature that your oven is set to? Do you program that in or is there some interface?

I've heard mostly complaints about polder on a number of bbq sites.

I wonder if they own most of the market? There was a time when 90% of the time I heard about a commercial plane crash, it was a Boeing plane.....but 90% of the commercial planes flying, were Boeing's.

I take your point, Bruce. What I should have said is, "of all the comments I read about Polder products, the vast majority are negative".

Having said that I should add that I see more positive comments for the Maverick items, but they also get their chops busted a lot.

I find a good instant-read thermometer does the job for me.
