Broke on first use.

The first time I used the thermometer to make fudge, I noticed a red tint and saw that the liquid from the thermometer was leaking. All the liquid leaked out and ruined the fudge. The thermometer was not dropped or hit against anything so it was just defective.

Great thermometer once it's setup!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2015

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

In reading the negative reviews, I was quite skeptical of getting these. But since my old digital candy thermometer died and I'm trying to do more caramels and high temp sugar work this season, I needed something I could rely on. I got these specifically as a recommended product from a few candy bloggers. So I got 2, one as a backup.

I did calibrate: doing a dry run with just water; to ensure that these were a) reading accurately and b) I was able to read them clearly. Both are very important, as with sugar cooking even one degree off, and you're entire batch is thrown in the garbage.

So for the first part: Both came a bit off in temp readings. So I did calibrate them and got them reading accurate, they were off by about 2 degrees at first. Not a huge deal and fixing the readings wasnt difficult. As for the 2nd part, you do need to kind of contort yourself to read them correctly. This was a negative and why it was only four stars. They're easy once you get the hang of it though, which again, why it's 4 and not 3 or lower.

To address concerns for the other skeptics: glass thermometers work and become more accurate the more they are submerged. So, while the water worked, because the water line was up about the 200F mark on the thermometer, that was good. When I made my first batch of caramels though, the caramel line wasnt even reaching the 100F mark. As a result it looked as though the thermometer was "stuck" at 216F and would not read any hotter.

Frustrated and using the digital (which has no clip and is quite difficult to use while stirring caramel) for accurate readings, this first batch kinda got overcooked. I was about to leave negative feedback and return both of the thermometers (as the backup also "stuck" at 216F") I remembered about how much of the thermometer was submerged. So I used a different pot that was narrower and taller. Now the base caramel line was solidly at the 140F mark. This batch was quite successful and the thermometer read accurate through to the end. I took random readings with the digital thermometer to be sure.

Bottom line: This is an excellent thermometer for the price. It could stand to be a bit easier to read, but otherwise a great thermometer. I have no fears about relying on it for future batches of caramels or other sugar cooking temps.

Unusable

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

It worked for a while. I've had it 4 months, and it's been handled gently and hand-washed with a sponge, no dishwasher. Sometime in the past couple of months, the mercury separated from the fluid, and now the thermometer is unusable. The thermometer was photographed in a cool state at room temperature.

Super well made, accurate and easy to use. Made by Taylor - they know what they're doing. Easy to read. Easy to clean. Perfect in every way. I just wish it came with a plastic case that I can pop it into so I don't have to worry about it getting banged up!

Wrong temperature reading!

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

I was so excited to get this in the mail and use it for my fudge making. For the longest time I was using a meat thermometer (which doesn't read as high as I need it to) and then doing the soft ball cold water test to see how set my fudge was setting. All that worked fine and I was making amazing fudge multiple times in a row but was thinking it was time to get a more legitimate set up with more accuracy.

I got this beautiful thermometer in the mail, washed it, and used it almost immediately. Got my fudge to the right temperature and unfortunately didn't do the cold water test because I trusted the thermometer too much. It dried up my fudge and ruined 2 batches in a row :(
Easy to read, easy to clean, maybe I got a faulty one? So sad.

Problem Solved, Sort Of: The Thermometer Moves

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

When my go-to caramel recipe failed me twice, I looked into new thermometers and saw that Taylor's Classic was recommended by David Lebovitz and other chefs, so I ordered one.

When the thermometer arrived, I performed the boiling water test (thermometer placed in a pot containing at least three inches of water, brought to a boil and kept boiling for five minutes) and saw that the thermometer consistently registered 212 degrees. This would be perfect at or about sea level, but at my altitude, water should boil at 203 degrees.

I returned the thermometer immediately to Amazon and they sent a replacement. Same test, this time the result was consistently 208 degrees. It seemed ridiculous to make Amazon send another replacement, so I contacted the manufacturer directly.

The customer service person at Taylor said their thermometers are accurate and offered to send me a replacement, free of charge. When I have an opportunity to test that one, I will update this review.

I initially thought that the degree register/decal printed on the thermometer might not be accurate, but we realized the problem is actually the thermometer itself. With very little pressure, the thermometer can slide up or down within the guards that secure it to the frame. In my case, where the thermometer was showing a temperature that was too high for my altitude, that meant gently sliding the thermometer up (could have been down, can't remember now) until it consistently registered 203 degrees in boiling water. Once I'd found the right position, I used a knife to lightly scratch the right location for the top of the thermometer into the frame, just below TAYLOR.

It's entirely possible that the thermometer shifts in its brackets during shipping or even getting bumped around in a kitchen drawer. My solution isn't ideal--the manufacturer should design a frame that prevents such movement--but in the interim and to prevent another batch of over/undercooked caramel, this has worked very well for me.

I've been pleased with both Amazon's and Taylor's response to what is essentially a defect in this product. I'm also glad to have found a workaround so maybe we won't have to throw out so many thermometers in the future.

ETA 11/16/13: I conducted the water boiling test this morning for all three thermometers: my original non-Taylor, my adjusted new Taylor and the out-of-the-box replacement sent by Taylor. I put the thermometers in a pot of at least 3" of water, not distilled because I'm not that committed, and suspended the three as directed by Taylor so that the bottom of the thermometer frame doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. After letting the water boil fully for five minutes the results were as follows:

The replacement Taylor registered 203 degrees, which is perfect for my altitude. The adjusted Taylor read 211 degrees, as it should if I lived at sea level. The original non-Taylor thermometer came in at 204 degrees, also respectable. I don't use the original thermometer any more and keep it, and the replacement Taylor, as back up. I hope this information is helpful to anyone looking at candy thermometers.

PS: The problem, still, at high altitude is that if a recipe calls for 250 degrees, I really need to stay around 235, possibly lower. Toffee is quite tasty, but not if the goal is soft caramel.

Great for large pots, of no use to small sauce pans

Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2017

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

I didn't know how huge this thermometer was. If there were dimensions listed, I should have paid more attention. This would be a great candy thermometer if someone were making large batches of something on larger pots. For what I wanted it for (mostly to make Italian meringue), this is way too big to fit into a saucepan and if you can't clip it due to the smaller size of the pot, it falls around and is way too dangerous to use. It would be great for larger uses though. The degree markings are clear, in both Celcius and Fahrenheit and would be very sturdy in a larger pot. Just no use to me for my needs though

It's sturdy but that's about it. This thing is huge, think of your biggest pot type of huge. Not easy to use at all, doesn't clip well unless you have a large pot. The accuracy is off, even with following proper instructions. Overall I'm really disappointed.

can't believe that I've gone so long without this wonderful tool! very easy to use and clean and precise readings, this made my batch of candy bars come out perfectly on the first try :-) worth every rupee in my estimate (its a lot). two thumbs up. just a note - hand-wash it, even though they say you can dish-wash it. wouldn't want it breaking by accident now, would we?

Fragile and dangerous to use in hot oil

Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2020

Style Name: 5983Verified Purchase

This thermometer was used sparingly and mainly to monitor my oil for deep frying tempura. The first few times thermometer worked well but just yesterday I clipped the thermometer to the side of my pot ( not touching bottom) and was finding it difficult to read. After inspection found the thermometer cracked and bits of glass in the bottom of the pot. Had to throw away the oil due to not wanting to ingest bits of glass not to mention whatever liquid/heavy metals were used in the thermometer....scary product.
