I need a good probe.

I am looking for a good quality digital probe thermometer. We have used a few different brands,cant quite remember which ones, and had limited success. They seem to last for few months at best, the last one only lasted one trip thru the oven. Any suggestions?

Try Dine restaurant supply on Preston Hwy. They have all sorts of instant read and probe thermometers.

Forgive me...but I was SO glad to discover this post was actually refering to thermometers...

I saw a '92 Ford Probe on Craig's list, but in the kitchen, I've always used Polder brand thermometers. They make a remote that you can leave in your pocket while the probe stays in the oven or grill. They are easily found on the net.

Thanks, I have read good things about Polder brand. I have been limping by on my instant read for a while now. It seems that the trouble with the probe end of thermometers is quite common among most brands. It is also interesting to compare different units as to accuracy, test them in boiling water and you will often come with pretty different readings. Thanks again, I will look for the unit with the remote, I have not seen that one yet. Another remote to lose?

BTW, John. Never put the probe in a dishwasher. That was a $12 lesson...

Yeah, I learned that lesson also.
