Polder Candy Thermometer, Stainless Steel Cooking Thermometer with Pot Clip, for Jam, Syrup, Jelly, Yogurt, and Deep Fry, 12"

Works great, able to read clearly, and it holds on to the side of the pot nice and firm

Works very well. I recommend!

Here's an honest review for y'all. I purchased 2 candy thermometers from Amazon prior to this one. A digital spatula model that accepted heat up to 500°F which turned a dirty trailer trash brown before decided to stop working faster than a teenage weed aficionado. The other thermometer was a very basic model that looked like a giant old school human thermometer which held together for one use before rebelling and sucking up liquid through it's bottom. Yeah...it was as gross as it sounds. I admit I frequently battle the Gods of Kitchen Fires and Smoke Alarms (and am on a first name basis with the local fire department - great group of folks btw) but I was not currently at war when those two shoddy thermometers broke! If it was genuinely my fault I would have slipped those suckers right into the garbage can never to be spoken of again: they certainly wouldn't be the first Voldemortesque kitchen apparatus to silently and stealthily disappear around my house. The reason nobody speaks of said kitchen apparatuses? I will square my shoulders, level my critic with a steely gaze, ask if my outfit makes me look fat all while complaining about my current (fake) hot flash. Trust me, no one is touching that minefield!! Feel free to borrow my tactics - it's the least I can do since you read my review. Fortunately, the third time was a charm and this model is awesome!! I imagine most casual home chefs like myself would be very happy with it. The thermometer is designed so it's bottom doesn't rest on the bottom of the pot resulting in a more accurate temp reading and it's super helpful in protecting the device from melting in case you forget the stove is even on. It's also readable in Fahrenheit and Celsius so I guess I could take my show on the road to Europe if only the world was ready for my brand of excitement. Unfortunately, most people don't want to remodel their kitchen just to make homemade candied apples with me. I know...I don't totally understand it either. My favorite feature of this thermometer is it's sturdiness: a necessary survival slill in my kitchen. So far I've used this model 4 times and the score is Gods of Kitchen Fires and Smoke Alarms - 0 Calamity Chef - 4 I'm becoming a total kitchen bada$$!!!

The candy thermometer works really well. I like the design and Joe it held in to dude while making candy. The only problem I had is that there are sharp edges and I cut my index finger running my finger down the edge not realizing it was sharp. If you buy it just be cautious about the edge.

Just bought this to make honeycomb toffee and I’m so thrilled. I made honeycomb toffee just before getting this thermometer and I can only say that the quality of my candy is a million times better after getting this. The temperature is easy to see due to the big reader and the pot-clip that comes attached to it and I love the addition of the typical lines for things like “soft crack” and “hard crack” stages. It cleaned up easily after cooking as well!

Good thermometer for cooking candies and deep frying foods.

sturdy, well put together, solid basic equipment, good price

Good product. Fast delivery

First of all you should note it is slightly larger than you would expect based off the pictures on the listing. This is fine as its not so big that you can't use it. It has a nice clip on the back which allows you to attach it on the side of a pot (if you have a tall enough pot for it! The clip is also good for storage if you want to clamp it on the edge of a shelf or something. The handle bit is made out of plastic but seems to be okay for hot temperatures The temperature seems to be accurate and we have had no problems with the thermometer at all so far! It is sturdy and well made and doesn't seem to be of the sort of cheap metal that could rust. Recommended!

Très bon produit

Die Plastikverpackung des Thermometers war offen. Es ist dann schwer möglich so etwas als Geschenk weiterzugeben. So stelle ich mir eine professionelle Handhabung von Versandware nicht vor.

I bought this for the sole purpose of making sucre a la creme, and it turned out flawlessly! Accurate and easy to read, it's a very large thermometer but has a sliding clip on the back. Worth ever penny!

Perfecto
