This high-temperature thermometer takes the guesswork out of deep-frying chicken, doughnuts, and french fries or making jelly, fudge, or butterscotch. Its easy-to-read 8-inch face measures temperatures from 100 to 400 degrees F. The face shows proper candy-making temperatures, from "thread" to "hard crack." An adjustable clip on the insulated handle secures the thermometer to a pan. Made of stainless steel with a shatterproof plastic lens, the thermometer measures 12 inches long overall and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

I have been using this for quite a while for candy making. Although some of the writing has washed off, I can still read the indentations and so continue to use it. Of all of the thermometers I own (and I have several), it is the most accurate. Candy thermometers should always be tested before each use by putting them in boiling water and adjusting your final temperature by any +- they show from true 212F or 100C boiling temp. This one has never needed any adjustments; others have been off 6 to 8 degrees. Because of this, its strength (no exposed glass bulb to break) and its ease in cleaning(dishwasher-proof), this is the only candy thermomoter I recommend when teaching candy making.

This is a terrific thermometer. It registers fairly quickly and has a wide range. The clip allows you to hang it on the side of a pan, and the thermometer itself is protected by its metal frame, so you never have to worry about the bulb resting on the bottom of the pan. I've had this thermometer for quite a while and it has stayed accurate.
Best store it upright and in a place where it won't get jostled.

For 30 years my older style Taylor candy thermometer worked like a charm (until I broke it in the sink), so I had no hesitation about replacing it with the same thing but talked myself into a littl more expensive nicer looking model. After making only a couple batches of fudge and penuche I noticed the numbers are flaking away. They are bold and large but I can see that won't make a difference if they all disappear. The steam from the boiling candy seems to soften them so they flake right off. It does have a heavy duty clip and the bulb of the thermometer is well protected but that's the only good thing I can say. It also is less accurate (water boils at 204 instead of 212 degrees on it).

Great thermometer unless you need to know the temperature
Initially I loved this thermometer. It seemed to be both responsive and accurate. Then the nice black numbers started to disappear. Read more

Very logical, excellent quality, makes sense!
As I have never had a candy thermometer, I was expecting this one to be not much bigger than the photograph, so the actual size (2" by 12") was a bit of a surprise, but after... Read more

stops at 200
Thermometer stops reading at 200 degrees! Not a good product. Wonderful functional design, but what good is it if it doesn't keep reading? Very disappointed.

Numbers/lines rub off after hand washing
I liked this thermometer fine until I saw that after being hand washed just six times, a large number of the numbers and lines had vanished! Now, after 12 uses, it's unusable.

I’ve only used this unit a few times
I’ve only used this unit a few times but it worked well and seems to be well made. I'd buy it again if i needed another.

Big and Bold Candy Maker
I have always had trouble keeping my candy thermometers working, they usually break when I need them most. Not this sturdy piece of kitchen help. I like it.

Good but unwieldy
Good thermometer but unwieldy. Awkward to clean. Especially awkward to use around boiling hot candy lava. Accurate and sturdy construction.
