1.0 out of 5 stars Major design flaws!, November 13, 2008
This review is from: MIU France 90049 Candy/Deep Fryer Thermometer (Kitchen)
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.

This review is from: MIU France 90049 Candy/Deep Fryer Thermometer (Kitchen)
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.

This review is from: MIU France 90049 Candy/Deep Fryer Thermometer (Kitchen)
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.
