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

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.

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.

I purchased this item to monitor the temperature of oil in my wok and in my deep fryer; the clip is indispensable. After multiple uses the printed temperature scale didn't fade or peel off like some reviews of similar products claimed. By using it I also learned that the oil in my deep fryer heated up much more rapidly than the directions indicated; no more overheating oil and wasting time. I'm very pleased with the performance of this item and recommend it to anyone who wants to deep fry foods at home.

Great!
Well built piece of equipment, and it's great for deep fry temperatures - I had no idea how cold my oil was until I got this! Must have for even the most sporadic of deep fryers!

While the thermometer seemed to register the temperature well, I was surprised to find that the glass would snap with almost no pressure at all. Read more

Totally Satisfied
A great item at a reasonable price. This was the first time I used a candy thermometer and it worked like a charm. Easy to read, accurate and professional. My candy was perfect.

Great thermometer
It is a highly visible, stable thermometer. The sturdy mounting clip affixes to a number of different cooking utensils especially a Dutch Oven for deep frying delicious calzones. Read more

This is a great thermometer... for the first few months. After that, the numbers started to fade. I can't even tell where the numbers even used to on my thermomter.
