Excellent

Fast service. Thermometer just as described.

This is a very sturdy thermometer. It has a nice strong hook for attaching it to your pan. It worked perfect for my candy making. The only thing I found trouble with is the frame that keeps it off the bottom of the pan makes making a small quantity of candy difficult unless you have a small diameter pan. I made a half test batch of marshmallows, and the thermometer did not enter the liquid because my pan was "x" diameter. I had to find a smaller diameter pan to bring the fluid up far enough to make the temp read. Since this was my first time using a thermometer with a frame around it, it was a learning curve thing and the 2nd batch of candy worked perfect because I started with the correct size pan.

Here's an honest review for y'all. I purchased 2 candy thermometers from Amazon prior to this one. A digital spatula model that accepted heat up to 500°F which turned a dirty trailer trash brown before decided to stop working faster than a teenage weed aficionado. The other thermometer was a very basic model that looked like a giant old school human thermometer which held together for one use before rebelling and sucking up liquid through it's bottom. Yeah...it was as gross as it sounds. I admit I frequently battle the Gods of Kitchen Fires and Smoke Alarms (and am on a first name basis with the local fire department - great group of folks btw) but I was not currently at war when those two shoddy thermometers broke! If it was genuinely my fault I would have slipped those suckers right into the garbage can never to be spoken of again: they certainly wouldn't be the first Voldemortesque kitchen apparatus to silently and stealthily disappear around my house. The reason nobody speaks of said kitchen apparatuses? I will square my shoulders, level my critic with a steely gaze, ask if my outfit makes me look fat all while complaining about my current (fake) hot flash. Trust me, no one is touching that minefield!! Feel free to borrow my tactics - it's the least I can do since you read my review.Fortunately, the third time was a charm and this model is awesome!! I imagine most casual home chefs like myself would be very happy with it. The thermometer is designed so it's bottom doesn't rest on the bottom of the pot resulting in a more accurate temp reading and it's super helpful in protecting the device from melting in case you forget the stove is even on. It's also readable in Fahrenheit and Celsius so I guess I could take my show on the road to Europe if only the world was ready for my brand of excitement. Unfortunately, most people don't want to remodel their kitchen just to make homemade candied apples with me. I know...I don't totally understand it either. My favorite feature of this thermometer is it's sturdiness: a necessary survival slill in my kitchen.So far I've used this model 4 times and the score isGods of Kitchen Fires and Smoke Alarms - 0Calamity Chef - 4I'm becoming a total kitchen bada$$!!!

Worked perfectly for candy making. Nice size and easy to read

My mom passed away so I have been trying to make all of the goodie’s she made. I tried making her fudge but it turned out awful. So I bought this candy thermometer so I can have the right temperature. Thinking that might be the problem. This thing is so tall it couldn’t clip to any of my pots. As you can see even with my big pot it will not work. I still don’t know if it was the temperature that was my problem.And I don’t use that big pot for making candy. Unless you are using a big stock pot it won’t work. I have tried to return it so I can find one that will work for me. But even though it is Prime it won’t let me return it. This is crap 💩 I guess I will just throw it away or find some one that uses a really tall pot to make their candy. I gave up on the fudge and cried because I don’t think I can ever be as good as my mom.Update…. I contacted customer service with Amazon and they were great. They issued me a full refund!! I didn’t even have to send the thermometer back. I still can’t use it because it is to tall. I will have to find some one that I can give it to. At least I can look for a different style of one that will work for me.Thank you Amazon customer service!!! 🤗🤗

I was shopping my local Walmart store today to check what they had that compared to this product & I could see immediately that this had better visibility & the clamp attachment features the in store product was lacking but price was close to same.
