After melting one thermomenter and breaking another flimsy one, I finally have found a sturdy, accurate, and easy to read thermomenter to use this year for all my holiday candy making. I like it too because you clip it on and forget it, it's marked for all stages you'd need for candy making and it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan which skews the actual temperature of your candy. I should have bought this one a long time ago......I can also use it for my new deep fryer too!

This is a good addition to my kitchen and I am sure it will be nice when I make candy. It hangs closer to the side of the pan and the bottom of it keeps the tip of the thermometer from touching the bottom of the pan. I think this will be much better than the ones where the thermometer sticks out at an angle making stirring difficult. It is quite long but the sliding clip will let it fit most pans. Now I am using it to check the temperature of boiled milk when I am making yogurt.

I have had a candy thermometer for years then I thought things just do not work like they should so off searching I went, I have been looking for about a year then I googled it!

Nice sized, easy to read, sturdy, I could not be any happier! Nice product nice company Love IT!!!! Oh I also forgot to mention it can be used for candy or oil - I have never seen a thermometer that can do both! Excellent value for the money!!!

The thermometer is well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. The built is sturdy and strong. The product quality is excellent. The temperature scale is easy to read and with added temperature guides for candy making. The first time I used it was to monitor the scalding of cream and milk for ice cream making. The reading on it was easy to use as you could see the temperature rising easily. I used it also in custard making so as to avoid over cooking the custard. It was a wonderful tool to have. Can't wait to use it for deep frying.
Because of its sturdy holder, it was a bit difficult to wash, especially if it is used for custard making. However, a little water jet will help to clean the hard reaching places.
I am very happy with the product.

I didn't pay attention to how large this thermometer is. Would be great if you made large batches of candy, for for my purposes, it's way too big.

Making Peanut Brittle has always been a family favorite especially around the holidays as gifts for family members and friends. To make sure it comes out perfectly you need a reliable ' THERMOMETER". I have used many and found none that were exact thus i was always searching for the perfect one. This thermometer from CHEFS is simply the best and has taken all the worry away when making a perfect candy. This is my last and final thermometer purchase thanks to CHEFS. I can continue with my tradition of making "Peanut Brittle" the right way.

When I bought this, the package and the site said it was dishwasher safe. Not sure why it says hand wash now, but at the time, I was specifically looking for a dishwasher safe thermometer so I'm very happy I got it when I did. It seems to work great and is easy to read and to clip to the pan and adjust.

This was much more than I had expected. It's heavy weight and adaptive slider for attaching to the pot is very unique, making it perfect for any size pot you need to use. Definitely will recommend it to my all my firends.

I have only used this once so far -- for tracking the temperature of milk while heating to make yogurt - and it worked very well. I like that it clips to the side of the pan. It is larger than looks in photos, but easy to read and use.

This is a solid thermometer. It is easy to clip onto the pan and has a brace at the bottom that prevents the thermometer from hitting the bottom of the pan. When I tested it with boilng water before using it to make candy, I found it to be accurate to 1 degree. Also easy to clean.

This purchase was to replace my old thermometer that my granddaughter dropped. It was a tried and true old friend so, I mourned its loss. I now have a new friend and it works just great.

Good for checking frying temp. You can push it to the bottom of the pot without messing up the reading.
