Turn out perfect fudge, pralines, and caramel with this InstaRead candy thermometer by CDN. Made of premium grade stainless steel, the 7-inch-long slender probe is also useful for testing the temperature of roasts and deep-frying oil. An oversized stainless-steel clip attaches the thermometer firmly to the side of a fry vat or candy pan, and the large 1-3/4-inch dial is easy to read. Highlighted sections of the dial show the best temperatures for different candy stages, specifically thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, and caramel. With a range of 100 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the finely calibrated thermometer is accurate to within 2 degrees, and can even be recalibrated for continued accuracy.
While the thermometer may be used on meats cooked in a conventional oven, microwave, grill, rotisserie, and smoker, it should be removed from the meat as soon as the temperature is registered since the lens is not oven-proof. The protective sheath, which features a pocket clip and loop to conveniently hold the probe, lists various types of meats along with the USDA recommended internal temperature for each. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.--Ann Bieri

Melted... thermometer,
This review is from: CDN InstaRead Candy & Deep Fryer Thermometer (Kitchen)
I bought this recently and used it for deep frying, once. After being clipped on the side of the pan for 15 minutes at 375 degrees, the face melted and gooed onto my stove. Who makes a thermometer dial face out of plastic, and even worse... plastic that can't stand the heat near what it is measuring?? What a piece of junk.

This review is from: CDN InstaRead Candy & Deep Fryer Thermometer (Kitchen)
The heat sensor on this thermometer is set too high. I have to tip the pan so the syrup will reach it and I don't think I'm getting an accurate reading. As you candy makers know it's important not to disturb the syrup. I plan on getting a different thermometer for candy making. I'm sure it will work fine for frying but that's not what I got it for.

This thermometer gives completely inaccurate readings unless you have at least the first 1.5 inches in the food. If any part of that sensor area is exposed to air, the reading will be way low.
So, if you're using it for something like peanut brittle or fudge, chances are, your boiling liquids won't be deep enough to get accurate readings. However, it's a fairly sturdy device and reads very quickly so would probably be great for deep fat frying and meats.
