I sure do and I would never want to be without it.

I own several thermometers. One, with a remote wired probe (Polder), a digital and an analog instant read (Taylor). They are always at hand as they have a lot more uses than you would immediately imagine.

It was a great investment. When the probe isn't in use the other part is on ice box door doubling as a timer.

I use the Polder remote wire double probe with timer - loving it!

I, too, have the Polder and love it.

I feel much better about serving meat to my family since I got the probe. Also, it helps me to stop cooking at the right time. Great help!

I wouldn't leave home without my digital.

I have 4
and use a scanning thermometer at work, as well. All thermometers are good to have, as long as they are calibrated correctly, and often.
If your thermometer is digital there is no need to calibrate it. If not, however, you have to use the ice water bath method.

I have several different thermometers that I use in the Kitchen. The most important being my digital candy thermometer..
I just recently got a wireless digital probe thermometer for Smoking Meats. It will be wonderful for the Wisconsin winters and smoking.

Not have a temp probe? Wouldn't that be sacrilege??

I too have the Polder probe {LOVE IT} one thing to keep in mind and not make the same mistake I did.......This past christmas I was cooking my usual prime rib meal and I thought that I set the temp on farenheight, but Whoops I had it on celcious.......It took me a few hours to figure out why the temp was rising so slowly, happily the food was well done [not my fav...but] still edible.
