 GREAT PRICE FOR JUST WHAT WE NEEDED January 4, 2009
My wife was asking for a candy thermometer to cook with and I decided to go with this one as it was not too expensive and looked like a good deal. My wife has loved this one. She loves how it has the clip on the back so she can clip it to the pan not making her have to hold it while she cooks. I was concerned that the numbers would start to ware off as I have read with some they were off after the first use and They have yet to even start to disappear on ours. It seems very acurate and was a good buy.

Very functional. Well made. I much prefer this style over the glass-enclosed type. The design prevents the thermometer part from touching the bottom of the pan so the reading is more accurate.
 An excellent tool November 20, 2008

This thermometer was right on target when tested with boiling water. It's a good, sturdy, invaluable cooking tool at a very reasonable price. The only thing I don't like about it is the amount of offset provided by a metal tab at the bottom, which is intended to keep the thermometer from resting directly against the side or bottom of a pot. While this is important when working with a deep container, it makes it almost impossible to use this thermometer when working with a smaller amount in a shallow container. Overall, though, this thermometer is an excellent value for the money.
 Major design flaws! November 13, 2008

I make a lot of candy and needed an accurate themometer. Caramels are especially sensitive to temperature changes. I regret buying this thermometer for two reasons: 1) The base/bulb of the thermometer is at a height that it often isn't fully submerged in the pot.
2) Even worse, after my last batch of caramels and the hard candy lollipops were overcooked, I realized that the thermometer is not fixed securely against the number scales, It slides up and down, thereby rendering it quite inaccurate. That was what had happened and what I thought were "perfect" temperatures, were actually about 5-10 degrees higher than they should have been. Very frustrating when you are doing something time consuming (with costly ingredients).
Unless someone can recommend a better candy thermometer, I guess I'll stick with using two (at the same time) of the store brand themometers. I DO NOT recommend this themometer. High price and seemingly sleek design do not equal quality.

HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THERMOMETER, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO USE IN FRYER WITH A BASKET DUE TO ITS SIZE.
