The kind that has a probe went squirrely a few months ago.
I decided to pick up an instant read to see if that was a good
thing to have. What a piece of garbage, I didn't expect much
because I paid little. Still, you'd think it could give a decent
reading.
I'm going back to a new Polder thermometer, the probe type.
The old one lasted a number of years.

I wouldn't mind having an instant read, too. Does anyone have
one that is reliable? Any suggestions for the probe type, so long
as I'm asking?

Thermopen. It is not a remote-probe type (with a wire), but it is the best
instant-read probe thermometer that I have used.
