My kitchen gremlins somehow swallowed my old deep frying/candy thermometer which I had owned for years. You don't realize how valuable a tool is until you try to complete a task without it.

If you use a Wok or pan to deep fry food a good thermometer is essential, and my old Taylor one was well worn.

The new model 804 is lighter, longer and more accurate than the one I lost. It has a clear,readable numeric display on the face, and fits large woks as well as large or small pots. All you need to do is adjust the clip to the size of your pot or wok.

I would not recommend using this item in smaller pots, as it sticks up too high, and you need to be very careful.

The first use of this product was an utter failure. Placed it on the edge of my dutch oven and started to heat oil for frying. I watched as the oil heated up until it started to smoke. I grabbed my instant read thermometer to see what temperature it read. The Taylor unit was reading over 100 degrees less than my instant read. Thats why the oil was smoking. I wasted money on this junk, you should not do the same!

have a good precision
i have used that for industrial purpose in a deep fry cooker for potato chips and works fine.
For me... this can be better just adding a fahrenheit and Celsius scale

This thermometer did'nt last one hour.Glass fogged up and it never went over 200.Send this JUNK BACK TO CHINA.
