I love that I no longer have to guess at the temperature of my oil when frying and I imagine that it would be awesome for making candy and other goodies.
I highly recommend this thermometer to anyone, it measures very accurately and allows for perfect candy and sugar solutions during each use. The only thing that would cause this Therm. to malfunction would be human error (see above review). And no, I do not work for or have any connections to the manufacturer. I just really like this piece of equipment.
I decided to go digital and ordered this one from Amazon. I received it on Friday Dec. 14, 2018 and sent it back on Friday Dec 14, 2018. I tried testing it in boiling water, which boils at 210F here in Phoenix. The thermometer readings/screen turned to all "8"s and then went black before it even reached 210F. So, back it went. I decided to re-order it and, I'm glad I did because this 2nd one works as expected.
I first tested it in boiling water. Right on the money. I recommend knowing your boiling point where you live for greater accuracy.
Today, I made a batch of pecan brittle and this thermometer was a joy to use. I preset it to the desired stage, the red light flashed and beeped when I was 3 degrees below my target temperature (250F). I then finished cooking it to the final stage (300F) and again, it was nice to easily read the temperature and also respond to the alarm's red light and beeps. I really like the alarm going off when the temperature is 3 degrees below the target temperature. There is such a range between what the temperatures for any stage when you're making candy.
I make candy once a year, so I can only hope that this thermometer works next year. I'll test it in boiling water before using again. I ruined multiple batches of candy with my old paddle type because it was wildly inaccurate and the devil to read those little lines. I can't yet rate the durability of this CDN unit, but it is easy to set up and use, once you have the instructions. I printed out user instructions I found online because none came with the thermometer. It's not easy to clean, but no candy thermometer is. You just have to be careful and mindful to avoid getting anything other than the probe wet.
What I don't like is that I can't manually turn this unit off. It stays on for an hour and shuts itself off if not in use. That drains the battery. Unlike other reviewers, I did not find the steam guard ring or the pan clip to be hard to install or use.
Just be aware that once you buy it, like it or not you can't return it.
