Polder Grill Surface Thermometer, Silver

I use this on BBQ grills and other stove top cookware so I can see when the surface temperature is high enough to start searing food. You can get an IR surface temperature gun for a lot more money, but this thing is simple, small, no batteries, and does the job.

It discolored the very first use and is now used rarely. I was disappointed as I hoped this would help me identify hot spots on my Weber.

This seemed to be a good product the first time I used it. It provided a nice guide to my grill surface temperature, although it was a little slow to respond to temperature changes when I moved it around the grill to areas of different heat don't expect it to adjust in seconds, because it won't. It did, however, tell me the general temperature of the different surfaces after it had sat there awhile.

Unfortunately, this thermometer just cannot take the heat of a charcoal grill. Obviously I don't expect it to display temperatures out of its boundaries, but it should at least survive them. According to the thermometer, my grill surface is off the scale the scale goes to 750, and the needle moved past that all the way back almost to its starting position, which could mean anything above 800ºF. But that temperature seems to have cooked the thermometer! The casing now looks more like bronze than stainless steel, and all of the color on the dial has turned black. The surface of the dial has also darkened, and the glass bezel turned a bit cloudy and brown. And it's definitely not a matter of cleaning it; I gave it a very thorough scrub. It's probably still usable I'll try again tonight but it's going to be a lot harder to read the temperature.

Bottom line if your "high" grill temperature is weak (in the 600 to 750 range), this might be a four-star product. If your grill gets hotter than that, it becomes a two-star product after the first use.

Note that I'm not promising it won't cook at 600-750ºF, but it certainly cooks above that.

Wipes clean easily. Kind of neat. I like it!

Works for me though I have only used it about 4 grills so far. I have a Weber Performer and prefer having another thermometer (Grill surface) to compare for cooking temps. Happy grilling!
