An excellent tool November 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Use this all the time June 29, 2008

I tried to make fudge without a thermometer but it wouldn't set. I use this one all the time to make fudge and it hasn't failed me. It's easy to use, read and it goes right into the dishwasher.

does what its made for what more could ask for. It has an clip on the back so you can clip it to a pot and it wont fall in and well marked temp points starting at 100f 40c going to 400f 200c and has candy stages marked thread, hard crack, etc.it also marks deep fry at about 375 witch is a good all around fry temp.
