Now that you mention it, that is the one that is impossible to do
without. I have several, from a grade school science fair project my
daughter did, that were $1 at Christmas Tree Shops. They no longer
carry them, and some of the probes are now broken. But they also work
with Polder, and are great timers, so sometimes there's 5 of them
going on the range hood, one for every burner on the stove, and one
for checking stuff in the oven.
