 The bestMar 26, 2004
I have been using this for quite a while for candy making. Although some of the writing has washed off, I can still read the indentations and so continue to use it. Of all of the thermometers I own (and I have several), it is the most accurate. Candy thermometers should always be tested before each use by putting them in boiling water and adjusting your final temperature by any +- they show from true 212F or 100C boiling temp. This one has never needed any adjustments; others have been off 6 to 8 degrees. Because of this, its strength (no exposed glass bulb to break) and its ease in cleaning(dishwasher-proof), this is the only candy thermomoter I recommend when teaching candy making.

accurate, reliable and easy to useMar 09, 2003
By audrey
This is a terrific thermometer. It registers fairly quickly and has a wide range. The clip allows you to hang it on the side of a pan, and the thermometer itself is protected by its metal frame, so you never have to worry about the bulb resting on the bottom of the pan. I've had this thermometer for quite a while and it has stayed accurate.Best store it upright and in a place where it won't get jostled.

 Disappearing numbersDec 06, 2006
By Miss Dee
For 30 years my older style Taylor candy thermometer worked like a charm (until I broke it in the sink), so I had no hesitation about replacing it with the same thing but talked myself into a littl more expensive nicer looking model. After making only a couple batches of fudge and penuche I noticed the numbers are flaking away. They are bold and large but I can see that won't make a difference if they all disappear. The steam from the boiling candy seems to soften them so they flake right off. It does have a heavy duty clip and the bulb of the thermometer is well protected but that's the only good thing I can say. It also is less accurate (water boils at 204 instead of 212 degrees on it).

THE BEST candy thermometer .. in my opinionNov 28, 2001
By Anne Kepple
I have owned this candy thermometer for over 30 years.. I use it, mostly around Christmas time, and can count on it's accuracy and ease of use. It is easy to clean and easy to attach to any sauce pan. Like any fragile product, keep it in a safe place and you will have it for a lifetime.

 Neat little gismoApr 12, 2001
This is quite a nice thermometer. It's extremely sensitive, so if you have very specific temperatures in your candy recipes, then it will work wonders. The only problem with it is it's awkward shape, which makes it difficult to clean and store. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.
