When I scald milk I fasten the probe to the side of the pan with a
butterfly clip so it's in the liquid (I believe I saw how to use a
clip used like that for a thermometer on Alton Brown), then I set the
alarm for 188-190 degrees F and turn on the heat. Once the alarm goes
off, it's only a couple of minutes until the milk gets to the simmer
boil.

This way, I can walk away and not have to stand there for 10 min!

You *do* know that scalding milk is a waste of time for most uses?

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

LOL! You need a stool by the stove.

Yabbut who wants to babysit a pot of milk (or whatever) for 10 minutes
when you can accomplish something else and the Polder can alert you
when it's done? Not me... I'll babysit a batch o' fudge or risotto,
but not a pot of milk :-)
