KT THERMO Deep Fry Thermometer with Instant Read,Oil Thermometer(2-Pack),12” Stainless Steel Stem Meat Cooking Thermometer,Best for Turkey,BBQ,Gril

It’s crazy how many reviews are dumping on the “useless clip” and giving this product a negative review because of it. Sure, out of the box it might not work for your exact pot/fryer. But guys, you can easily reshape the pliable metal on this clip to your exact specifications with a set of pliers. It took me about 2 minutes to make adjustment so the thermometer sat the way I needed it to, and I’m just mildly handy. The actual thermometer seems to work just fine, and is long enough for some deep frying bubbly bliss. In summary.. buy this thing as long as you are willing to spend 2 minutes exerting minimal effort to bend/reshape the clip to work for your situation.

Easy to read and accurate

When the thermometer touches the inside of the container of cooking oil, the accuracy of the temperature of the oil is compromised. The clamp did not hold the thermometer away from the side of the dutch oven pot that I use to fry doughnuts. So I was able to modify it by inserting 2 wooden shim pieces under the outside of the clamp to hold the thermometer away from the inside of the cooking pot. The thermometer was easy to calibrate using boiling water and it measures temperature accurately.

12" stem. Works well.

This is a nicely made thermometer with a long probe. Unfortunately, I bought it when it was more expensive at $10.79, but it's another 11% off or so today at $9.59 for one or $13.59 for two. It's so well made that I should have gotten the two pack. The red dial is nice if it's a feature you want. There are other deep fry thermometers that area slightly cheaper, especially comparing the full price, but it looks like this one has the most reviews.

I was using a digital thermometer to monitor fry oil temperature and I noticed the temperature was lower than expected and the oil was turning black and bubbling. Electronic failure, probably minutes away from catastrophic fire. This probe is based on physics. Bi-metallic thermometers work on the principle of different metals expand with differently. There is nothing to fail. I'll keep my digital for bread and meat. :O

Did a little research before the purchase and this unit came up as one of good quality and a recommended purchase. Like many of the other commenters, I found the clip to be a little less than desirable. The pan I was using had a slight lip at the top and I could not find any way to keep this thermometer attached to it. Second of all, the vegetable oil I was heating was supposed to be heated to 375. After some time, I began to question the temperature, as the oil seemed very hot, but this thermometer was reading just slightly above 300. I quickly grabbed another Digital meat thermometer I have and it read the oil temperature at over 400. Really kind of disappointed with this products overall performance.

I had a recipe that I needed to try but it required having a thermometer to make sure the oil stayed at a particular temperature. I decided to purchase this and it arrived the day I decided to make my recipe. It worked flawlessly. I like that it has a clip you can put on the edge of the pan to hold it where you need it to be in the oil. It is very easy to read. This will definitely be a useful accessory to have in my kitchen.

I like its accuracy and the length as I do my deep frying in a very deep stock pot.

Great product reacts quickly to heat

Have used it 3 times so far to fry up some Zucchini flowers and it worked beautifully everytime. Will recommend to family and friends.

Good for use as advertised. The scales are a bit difficult to read also it reads about 5degree C too high. not a big drawback but nevertheless not 5 stars.

I like that it’s like the original thermometer
