Turn out perfect candies, jelly, and caramelized sugar with this stove-top thermometer by CDN. Made of stainless steel with durable laboratory glass, the thermometer precisely measures temperature with a non-mercuric column in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, from 75 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 200 degrees Celsius). Excellent also at monitoring hot oil for deep frying doughnuts, onion rings, and other foods, the thermometer can be attached firmly to the side of any size fry vat or candy pan with its stainless-steel clip, while the plastic handle stays cool to the touch. Highlighted sections of the thermometer show the best temperatures for different candy stages, specifically thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, and caramel. An exclusive safety shield at the bottom protects the glass bulb from breakage. Measuring 12 inches in length, the thermometer should be allowed to cool before carefully washed by hand, and should never be placed on a cool surface when hot. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.--Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thermometer February 26, 2008

By John Ei

I bought this thermometer for deep frying, mostly tempura. It seems to be accurate within a few degrees, which is enough. The bulb is well protected, and held off the bottom just right. The numbers do not come off (as I read the Taylor brand one does). I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a candy thermometer December 30, 2009

By DM Bianco

This is an analogue candy thermometer. It performs as you would expect it to. I have not seen any issues with this or with any other brands that I see others using. The handle is slightly larger which makes it a little easier to hold. the clip on this model is angled which makes it hard to hook onto a pot that has a straight edge and not a lip. I've had no issues with numbers falling off or any such business I've read on other products. The 5-yr warranty is a nice reassurance. I'd buy this one again if I needed one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for candy March 8, 2010

By Patrick E. Campbell

This themometer needs a lot of liquid to register the temperature. By design, it needs a straight sideded pan filled with plenty of liquid. Candy cooking does not usually meet these requirements. It should not be described as a candy thermometer. It might work fine for some deep fry applications but the one I received is off by about 4 degrees compared to a Thermopen (a highly accurate general purpose thermometer). I would not have purchased if I had known these things.
