CRAFT911 Candy Thermometer with Pot Clip - Deep Fry Oil Thermometer for Frying and Candle Making - 2 Pack (White)

Exactly as described. Arrived on time.The thermometer was only 5*F off when I got it and calibrated it.This is a high-range thermometer so you're not going to be able to use it under 50*F. Therein, calibration is in boiling water at 212*F / 100*C. Easy to calibrate - same as what we used in Restaurants.Clip holds well. Pleased with this item.

Seems accurate and works well.

Nice gauges. a little long for a normal deep fryer, but it is adjustable, so worked out good.

Checklist before first caramel or fry batch:☐ Ice-water check (should read ~32°F)—adjust if your unit needs a nudge. Out-of-the-box analog sticks are usually close, not sacred.☐ Clip to the pot so the bulb sits in the liquid, not resting on the bottom (bottom reads the pan, not the candy).☐ Watch the big dial for soft-ball / hard-crack stages or oil heat without hunting for batteries mid-recipe.☐ Wipe clean after; do not treat the glass like a stirring spoon or leave it in a screaming empty pan.The white CRAFT911 does the classic job: readable scale, pot clip included, works for candy, deep fry, and candle wax once you confirm it is honest. Four stars because some clips feel fiddly on thin saucepans and every analog thermometer deserves a calibration habit. Fine kitchen tool—not a lab instrument, not disposable junk either. If the clip hates your pot rim, a silicone band as backup has saved more than one batch at our house.

The product works great, I recommend this

Great

Works wonderful!!the adjustable temperature range is perfect

So I own a handheld digital thermometer which I love, but making fried chicken in oil is a pain if I have to keep checking the temp by hand. SO I got this to be able to clip it to the side of the pan and be able to see what the temp is when I add and cook my chicken. First of all, I did test it in a pot of boiling water and it was pretty accurate. However, when I put it in the hot oil, it never registered above 200 degrees no matter how I adjusted it, how deep I put it in the oil. SO I tested it again in boiling water, and again it worked fine in water.The problem for me is that it is useless if it doesn't work in oil. I can TELL if water is boiling, I don't need a thermometer for that. I needed one that sits on my pan side and tells me when my oil is hot enough to cook. Anyone who fries food in oil knows that when you add food to the oil, it lower the temp of the oil so you have to watch it closely and sometime up the heat to get the oil hot enough again, then lower the heat.Also, about half way through my first time using it, it kept sliding to the side when I clipped it to my pan. Not good when trying to place chicken in oil to have to keep straightening up the thermometer so it doesn't end up sideways in the oil.This has great reviews but it just doesn't work well for me. I do make candy and fudge in the fall and winter holidays, hopefully this will work better for those items. I am keeping it for that reason, but I can honestly say that I can't recommend this item.The seller shipped this quickly, and it was well wrapped and boxed so my problem is not with the seller, just with the quality of this item.

Perfect

I used this once when i bought it a year ago. Reached for it recently and found it to be broken. The stem was completely snapped away from the body. It was in my kitchen drawer and obviously too fragile.

The ad shows it as coming in a box. Mine came loose in an Amazon envelope and no instructions. Arrow is not on zero but instead is on 22 degrees. No way to calibrate it. If you want your liquid to be 350 degrees I suppose you would have to wait until the arrow points to 372 degrees. Guess I'll have to forego the dollars spent on this and purchase a better one.
