CDNCandy and Deep Fry Thermometer, 40 to 200 C

If like me you are partial to cooking your own prawn crackers or spring rolls you will see that they have to be cooked in a deep fryer or a wok. I used to cook mines in the deep-fryer and the oil would get burned each time (had to turn the fryer up to MAX each time). After a few times I had to clean the whole fryer and replace 3.5 ltrs of oil. Not cheap !!This thermometer allows me to deep fry crackers in a wok using only 1+3/4 cup of oil. Regulating the temp as per the thermometer. I can then let the oil cool and store it. The 3.5 ltrs in the deep-fryer meanwhile lasts for ages just doing the odd portion of chips.It also has printed settings for making your own candy - havent tried making that yet.Great service from these guys re delivery and packaging and a great price for a kitchen instrument that has a 5 year guarantee!!

The thermometer is fairly accurate, I put it into a pan of water & brought it up to the boil, it was just under the 100deg C when the water was boiling. What really concerns me is that it is so difficult to clean. I wanted it to test the temperature of fudge. The fudge gets in around the tube at the base of the thermometer and there it stays even though I put the thermometer into a pan of boiling water to try to get it out. How can something which is sold as suitable for making sweets be so poorly designed? Needless to say I'm not using it .

It is a great thermometer and Works perfectly well. However I am a bit desapointed about its size. It is too tall and it can fall while you are boiling sugar with this inside. As soon as the bubbles appears, the thermometer keeps falling out the sauce pan and you must either hold it or use a huge sauce pan to avoid it falling out.

just what i needed for jams ,oil,and candy good clear reading easy to clean and handy clip on the back

Very good

I ordered this thinking it was a 'manual' thermometer, not a digital one. The image is very misleading as I was sent a digital thermometer. Good customer service though, I requested a return and was promptly answered

I bought this item to use when deep frying vegetables and the results have been very successful. It provides a very visible display and has no electronics to go wrong.

This one got here and I didn't even get it out of the package before I noticed that the whole thermometer was 'off' with bits of the liquid inside broken off in bits all throughout the thermometer. Pretty bad when it ARRIVES broken.
