Review 3 for Digital Oil & Candy Thermometer
jillpetr
fromCedar Rapids, IA
I recently purchased this digital oil and candy thermometer -- it is the best ever! In the last three years I have purchased several and received a couple as gifts (none of which worked very well) but this one is excellent. It easily attaches to the side of my pan and the numbers are easy to read. I appreciate its ease of use.
Not only would I recommend this to a friend -- I may purchase this particular thermometer for gifts this coming Christmas!

Review 5 for Digital Oil & Candy Thermometer
Whosit
fromChino Valley
I received a thermometer like this several years ago as a gift and use it at least once every month. I love it. It makes candy making a lot easier and more foolproof. One day, my sister was helping me with candy and loved how easy this thermometer is to use and wanted one for herself. When the opprotunity to buy this one came up I had to get it for her. She loves toffee and now she can make her own.

Very sensitive but too heavy to use on a small pot; tips it over. I hand held it when making a small amount of syrup that needed to reach a particular temperature. Would be fine for making a large batch of candy or for frying in deep fat.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, quality, Functional/Useful
Cons: weight, Difficult to use

I find this thermometer (which I 'dreamed' of whenever I used my old candy thermometer) much safer to use and sooo easy to read! I happened to see it being used on the Food Network while watching a program and said to myself 'that is the thermometer I have been looking for!!! I decided to see if it was in Chef's Catalogue - there it was and I ordered it immediately.

I have not used it yet, but when I opened it and read the instructions, I was impressed with the features: the read-out tilts for much easier viewing; I can actually read the display without squinting, you can set it for a certain temp and it will beep when reached (this means you don't have to guess if you are looking at the right line like on the other candy thermometers; the clip for the pan is very well done. Overall, it appears to be more than worth the money.

I was so excited to find this digital candy thermometer - exaxctly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I didn't even get one batch of peanut brittle made before it stoped registering the temperature. We changed batteries and tried again - stopped working again. Cleaning is also a problem. Your supposed to wipe with a damp cloth and not submerse in water. It is next to impossible to get it clean if you can't soak it in hot water! I plan to return asap!
Cons: Difficult to Clean/Wash, Performance

Unfortunately we haven't used the item yet, however I am impressed with the service and shipping we received from Chef's and if the item performs as well as it looks and as well as it seems to be made it should be very good. It was purchased to late to help with Christmas candies but it will be useful when time comes to make candies next time...

I used the thermometer just last night to make
caramel popcorn. I love the way it beeps when the lemperature is reached, I don't have to worry about testing all the time. The gage screen bends so you can see it easier at any angle. I have not used it for oil yet and probably won't. I bought it to make candy.

I bought this thermometer in Feb 2009. It worked good until recently when I would not always come on. Today it would not turn on at all. For $30 it should last more than 14 months. It only has a 90 day warranty.
Also itI woud never clip on as shown in the picture with a basket.

Useful tool but care is needed
PostedMarch 2, 2010
SunshineChef
fromSarasota, Florida
Very useful for both oil and sugar/chocolate. Really does the job and the alerts are great especially when you have several balls in the air at one time.
Was a bit disappointed with the attachment clip. A little clumsy to use and scratchs the side of the pan. Teflon especially is susceptible to flaking off.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store, easy to use, Functional/Useful, Performs Well
Cons: Construction, stage setting display very small, attaching clip scratchs pan especially teflon
