As much as I am in the kitchen, a thermometer isn't something I use on a regular basis, so I really don't want to make a big investment. Have read good things about the Polder models, and they appear to be in the $25-40 range, but are they my best bet? Should I spend a little more to get something better? All help is appreciated!

I got a lot of good information and ended up going online and buying the Nu-Temp 701 for $40 plus shipping. It was reccomened many times. I have it now, but still trying to figure out how it works. I think I will go back to my post and ask that question too. Thu Nov 08 16:30:41 -0800 2007 3106826 115579 Mother of four
