About - Polder THM-360

The Polder THM-360 is part of the meat thermometer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, meat thermometer models like the THM-360 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Temperature accuracy:
To test for accuracy, we took multiple readings with each of the tested thermometers and compared them with readings from a calibrated thermometer. The readings were averaged and scored.

Response time:

Range:
This score reflects the span between the highest and lowest temperatures the model can register. A wider span makes the thermometer more useful.

Comment:
I should have looked at reviews of this product lots of people have the same issue as I did. This was not working from the word go. I did a test where I put both probes into a glass of ice water at the same time. One input was 39 degrees and the other 59 degrees. Switching the probes indicated the problem was in the unit itself as the same inputs had the same readings.
How long have you owned it:
