Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Gauging the perfect temperature for raspberry jam or grape jelly is key to a successful batch. With Taylor’s highly accurate thermometer, the guesswork is taken out of the picture resulting in perfect consistency every time. The 6-inch steel probe also monitors sugar temperature for sweets, or oil for deep-frying doughnuts to chicken. With a large, 2-3/4-inch dial, a red-wand indicator clearly displays temperatures from 200 to 400 degrees F. Added conveniences include an adjustable kettle clip plus a movable red arrow that may be set as a target-temperature indicator. This dishwasher-safe product is covered by Taylor’s lifetime warranty. It also comes packaged with a handy food temperature guide. -- Amy Arnold

I bought it because I make ice cream at home and I need exact temperature readings (I use the "How to make ice cream" book that you can find here - superb book).

4 stars because the clip is not strong enough to keep the thermometer up when stirring the mixture while cooking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Taylor: not so accurate., October 4, 2007

Phoenix "Love Books" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

As with all products when I got this one I put it to the test to see whether it would give an accurate reading of boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius. It was five degrees shy of 100. It's recommended the probe sit in at least 2 1/2 inches of liquid to get the most accurate reading. I did just that. It still wouldn't come up to temperature. Figures, it's made in China.

It's an okay thermometer. I needed a thermometer for shallow deep frying (about 1 inch of oil) and this seemed to be a good middle of the road choice. Turns out, if less than 2 1/2 inches of the probe sits in liquid, it only reads the about average temperature of what it's submerged in. The heat climbs slowly up the shaft of the probe to give the median temperature.

I bought this and blindly followed the temperature indicated. When the candy started to turn color way early I compared the temp to a mercury thermometer and it was 20 degrees off! I'm returning it.
