Customer Reviews

Not a good choice for peanut brittle
I burned the first batch because the thermometer was not down far enough into the sugar. I adjusted the clip and the probe was in the middle of the pan. It read the temp OK for bringing the sugar up to 295, but once I put the butter, nuts, etc in the mixture and had to keep stirring, it stopped giving an accurate measurement. Given the weight of the thermometer head, this would work best in a very tall pot.

Candy Thermometer
There's really not much to it when you consider a candy/deep-fry thermometer. It needs to be functional, accurate and durable. I find that this thermometer succeeds in these areas. It is also easy to clean and easier to read than the typical cage thermometer. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't experience any problems with the thermometer resting on my deep-fryer. I found the design to be more than adequate. Unfortunately, it is made in China, but I looked around for months for one that was made elsewhere and couldn't find one. The Taylor cage thermometers are also made in China, but if you read the reviews here at amazon and other places, you'll see that there are issues with the painted numbers on the scale wearing off. No doubt this thermometer is constructed by the same quality-indifferent folks, however nothing on this particular device needs to be submerged in the oil/candy except for the tip of the probe.

I really wish this was made in the USA, and that's the only complaint I have.

Poor Design
The thermometer head is too heavy for the clip supplied. I could
not get it to set straight up. It would tilt to the side. I should
return but do not want to go through the hassle. Poor design and
way overpriced.
