Customer Review: If you're not using a Polder, you'll need to recalibrate
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, these are based on the same pricipal as practically all other probe thermometers. A thermistor in the tip changes electrical resistance with temerature and the thermometer base converts the resistance to a temperature.
HOWEVER...the resistance is not the same from brand to brand. I purchased two of these probes after one of my two Taylor probes went belly up (my fault: don't leave these in a hot grill). The room temperature seemed the same - the replacements were maybe a degree or two below the original (66 vs 68).
After watching a batch of icecream turn to creamy scrambled eggs at just 150F, I decided to test them to see if one of the thermometer bases was bad.
Well, boiling water for the remaining original probe came out at 201 degrees (vs a theoretical 207degrees at my altitude), while the new Polder probes were something like 162 and 163. A trip to an ice bath showed 33 on the original, and 40 and 42 on the Polder probes. Swithing the probes and bases yielded identical results....so it was a probe "problem."
Next, I did a side-by-side (one original Taylor, one replacement Polder) temperature run up in my oven. Both probes were nearly touching, and the tips were suspended near the bottom third of the oven, away from the element. I ran the temp from 200F to 400F, then plotted the data in Excel. Both probes were approximately linear (close enough for cooking), but the Polder had a lower slope. A simple bit of math and I had a conversion chart for using the new proves.
This is not to say that the probes won't work perfectly in a Polder thermometer, but if you're planning on using them in a different mfr thermometer, you would be wise to make a little conversion chart and tape it to the back of the thermometer, or you may not get what you think you're getting!

Throughout the years, Polder has built an eclectic collection of core home categories, including kitchen timers and thermometers, laundry and ironing products, kitchen scales, and a variety of other storage solutions.

This is a replacement probe for the Polder Smart Fork (item 384) and the Polder Thermometer with Timer and Clock (item 601).This replacement probe fits the Polder Preprogrammed Cooking Thermometer, Wireless Remote Cooking Thermometer/Timer, and the Smart Fork. The 8-inch-long curved probe inserts into even the largest roast, while the 39-inch wire is long enough to reach from the cooking food to the sensor unit. The probe stays in the meat during cooking, and the oven door closes over the wire. Not to be used for taking the oven temperature, the probe is suitable for measuring cooking temperatures up to 392 degrees F (200 degrees C). Heat-resistant gloves or potholders should be used when handling the hot wire and probe. --Ann Bieri
