Amazon.com Review
Turn out perfect candies, jelly, and caramelized sugar with this stove-top thermometer by CDN. Made of stainless steel with durable laboratory glass, the thermometer precisely measures temperature with a non-mercuric column in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, from 75 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 200 degrees Celsius). Excellent also at monitoring hot oil for deep frying doughnuts, onion rings, and other foods, the thermometer can be attached firmly to the side of any size fry vat or candy pan with its stainless-steel clip, while the plastic handle stays cool to the touch. Highlighted sections of the thermometer show the best temperatures for different candy stages, specifically thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, and caramel. An exclusive safety shield at the bottom protects the glass bulb from breakage. Measuring 12 inches in length, the thermometer should be allowed to cool before carefully washed by hand, and should never be placed on a cool surface when hot. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.--Ann Bieri

 Not recommended for candy March 8, 2010

This themometer needs a lot of liquid to register the temperature. By design, it needs a straight sideded pan filled with plenty of liquid. Candy cooking does not usually meet these requirements. It should not be described as a candy thermometer. It might work fine for some deep fry applications but the one I received is off by about 4 degrees compared to a Thermopen (a highly accurate general purpose thermometer). I would not have purchased if I had known these things.

It's a candy thermometer December 30, 2009

This is an analogue candy thermometer. It performs as you would expect it to. I have not seen any issues with this or with any other brands that I see others using. The handle is slightly larger which makes it a little easier to hold. the clip on this model is angled which makes it hard to hook onto a pot that has a straight edge and not a lip. I've had no issues with numbers falling off or any such business I've read on other products. The 5-yr warranty is a nice reassurance. I'd buy this one again if I needed one.
Great for deep frying July 20, 2009

I purchased this item to monitor the temperature of oil in my wok and in my deep fryer; the clip is indispensable. After multiple uses the printed temperature scale didn't fade or peel off like some reviews of similar products claimed. By using it I also learned that the oil in my deep fryer heated up much more rapidly than the directions indicated; no more overheating oil and wasting time. I'm very pleased with the performance of this item and recommend it to anyone who wants to deep fry foods at home.
Fine example of a disposable thermometer April 22, 2008

Bought this for making beer; the brew needs to be "simmered" at medium temperatures for a certain period of time, then boiled. When I took the thermometer out of the pot when I finished, the numbers that had been under the wort (liquid) were gone. I guess it will make a good door-stop.
