good old fashioned glass thermometer

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

I wanted an old fashioned glass thermometer to replace the one that got lost somewhere along the way. This is as close as it gets to the old model I had.

The clip on the side is mostly useless because it clasps the glass thermometer tight to the side of my new stainless steel 7 ply cooking pans. Perhaps if I had the old fashioned pans with small rims it would work differently. I only use it to measure the temperature of water for making tea. Might find another use for it sometime in the future though.

The plastic sleeve is nice to protect the glass from becoming scratched in a drawer, but the end of the bulb extends beyond the sleeve so you still have to be careful where you put the thing for storage. But I got what I wanted......just a basic simple tool that seems to work fine.

UPDATE 2014: I've also been using this thermometer to heat the milk/water combination for when I make English muffin bread. I still think it is a good buy for the money!

Works Perfectly

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

I couldn't locate a reasonably-priced glass candy thermometer in a mortar-and-brick store around here, so I turned to my trusty friend Amazon for some help before candy-making season gets into full swing. I was specifically looking for a glass candy thermometer without metal that would scratch my nonstick cookware--most of the ones I had seen in-store were enclosed in metal cages, rendering them useless for nonstick pan-owners. This one fits the bill perfectly. The metal clip attaches to the outside of the pan, and while I agree with another reviewer who said something about the actual pan being hotter than the ingredients inside, I didn't experience any trouble with the temperature being wildly inaccurate. The clip held perfectly and I was able to adjust the thermometer up and down inside the pan according to my ingredient level. Clean-up was a breeze--I just soaked it in some lukewarm water while I finished my candy-making, then wiped it clean with a soapy rag and rinsed. The plastic tube keeps it safe for storage, and I also like that the tube has the average temperatures for different stages of candy and deep-frying. I don't know how the other reviewer stored it, but I slid the thermometer inside and left the clip outside, securing it to the tube. It seemed fine to me. Thanks for another great deal, Amazon!

Love it!

I seldom cook, but wanted to make my mother-in-law's recipe for pecan pralines. I bought this thermometer just for that. And I'm really glad I did, because it worked great for a novice like me. The clip slides up and down to adjust to the depth of your pan (the tip shouldn't touch the bottom). The built-in temperature list was useful. The numbers on the thermometer were easy to read. I'm glad it had a protective cover since the thermometer is glass, but wish it stayed in place better. I wound up storing it in a baggie to protect it better.

Bad design leads to difficulty of use

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm not a super chef. But I did invest in this product because I wanted to get into cooking, and a lot of recipes I wanted to try called for a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of various sauces and mixtures. My first issue with this thing is how hard it is to read - yeah it has large numbers but when its mounted the the pan during heating, its difficult to read especially with steam condensing on the glass. Also, the metal clip covers a large portion of the numbers and depending on where you have it set, sometimes you're covering the numbers that you're trying to target. That is not intelligent product planning. Speaking of the metal clip, its totally useless. Especially if the lip of the pot is thicker, it will pop up. This happened to me, and the thermometer fell into the liquid and it was basically ruined. I tried to salvage it, but once fluid gets into the thermometer, its not coming out. So I threw it out, and it became a waste of money.

Thick but works.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I didn't look at the details of this items. I was a bit surprised to see it soo thick. I'm barely getting into candy and bread making.Those are the only thing I use it for. It can be difficult to read the temperatures. When washing do not even let water get any where near the top. I got very little water in by mistake. Fogged up the whole thermometer,I tried to use it (see if it would go away from heat ) it made the problem worse. had to wait 2 weeks for it to air out correctly by the window. Not a big fan, I would recommend something else. I do not fry food so have no option on that.

Thermometer fogs up.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Thermometer fogs up and results in little to no visibility of temperature reading. I used this thermometer a couple of times and I do not like it. It feels like it is very fragile for starters and secondly I can't read the temperature due to the moisture inside it. Upon arrival I washed it and I let it dry by leaving it upside down, when I used it, the inside of the thermometer started fogging up and resulted in me not able to read the temperature. I have no idea how moisture got inside the thermometer once I let it dry off. Needless to say, I haven't returned it and I just ended up buying a digital one.

Fairly accurate, not too slow

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have three glass candy thermometers and this is the best of the bunch. They are all a little slow to respond but this one is actually pretty good. Nice big size, clear and easy to read. Good clip that holds reasonably. None of these clips are ideal, they never are but what are you gonna do? The Polder one I have has a real flimsy clip and the Taylor one I have is too slow. I would go with this one as far as the cheaper glass thermometers go.

Does the job

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2010

Verified Purchase

Works fine for what it is needed for. Got my candy to temp perfectly for me. I agree that the metal pot clip wasn't very useful. But then again, the pot I use to make candy apples isn't tall enough for it to fit anyway. A little bulky, but still great. Went through the dishwasher fine too.
