2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly designed, December 26, 2006

There are two major design flaws with this thermometer. You can clearly see both of these flaws in the picture of this product.

The first is that the cap at the top of the thermometer is made of plastic. It melted in the middle of my candy making when the cap touched the pot. I was stirring the candy with one hand and desperately trying to get hold of a potholder to hold up the thermometer and keep the melted cap out of my candy with the other hand.

Second, the clip has a knob on it but the knob is at the top of the clip instead of the bottom, making it nearly impossible to open the clip up to reposition the thermometer in the middle of cooking.

I bought two of these at walmart because it is cheap but both of them are now in the trash can after a few use. One of them is broken and the other got water inside the tube. The top part has hole and if you wash it and not carefull, water will go inside and water particles and steam will form inside it making it hard to read. The thing inside is also made of cheap cardboard paper with temp readings and if you got water in it, it will get wet and crooked. It is a waste of money buying this.

Ok- I have been through two of these in the past 3 years. And I have broken them both. They crack at the bottom near the tip. The readings are hard to read, and it is quite difficult the keep the thing in and on the pan! Now that my latest one broke, I am looking for digital and great quality, not price!
