The dial was hard to read with my elderly eyes. I would have liked it better if the candy stages would have been marked.

The glass became foggy after a couple of uses and it did not get up to temperture correctly.

Unfortunately the one we received was grossly inaccurate. Off by nearly 150F in 300F oil (reading 450 ish). Another digital thermometer was reading 300F in the same pot. Placed in water to clean and was still reading nearly 220F. Water was not boiling and barely warm.
UPDATE: Vendor offered to refund cost without the need to ship item back.

Used this today when making egg rolls and it worked perfectly fine.

Bought this to maintain my oil temp for frying beignets. Works great — hella long though…you probably could go for the shorter version if you’re just doing stovetop frying.

If I don’t bump it it stays put. I’ve have a round 5.5 qt Dutch oven.

This thermometer is so off, I used my go to laser thermometer that Ive used for years to deep fry food to compare to my new thermometer and I found that that thermometer is off down 150 degrees, which can potentionnaly lead to a fire if a user only rely on that thermometer because the smoke point of certains oils can be between those margins and before you can get a refund or do a review you’ve burn down your house to the ground.

I ordered this item a while back and LOVED it. Have just re-ordered today because I messed mine up by slamming my overcrowded kitchen gadget drawer closed and bending it! MY error. I bent the probe into a curved shape and bent it at the point where the probe connects to the thermometer. I just have to shake my head and roll my eyes at some of the reviews. Most of the negative reviews appear to be about the accuracy. Well, all you have to do is calibrate it. Simple process of boiling some water and taking a little bit of time and a set of pliers, a hemostat or a small wrench and turning the nut on the back until the needle points to 212 degrees. DUH. You most likely would need to do this with any kitchen thermometer. And it should be done periodically anyway. Don’t be misled by stupid people!! This is an inexpensive and accurate thermometer IF you calibrate. The reason for my 4 stars on the easy to read and easy to use categories: The stem of the thermometer will turn within the clip, but sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get the face of the dial turned in a direction that it’s super easy to see. Very hard to describe, sorry. And the clip is set at a width which is difficult to make any SMALLER. It will expand to clip nicely to a thicker sided pot, but if you happen to try to use a thinner sided pot, there’s no way to decrease the width of the clip. Again, kind of difficult to describe. I use cast iron cookware for my infrequent frying. The width of the clip tends to fit fairly snugly to most of my cast iron cookware, so no real big deal there for me, but it may present an issue to some who may be using a thinner sided vessel for frying. Overall, this is a great, inexpensive thermometer if you take the necessary step of calibrating.

I didn’t realize how long this was. It’s really good though as I can use on my largest pots. Accurate.
