Oxo Good Grips Candy/Deep Fry Thermometer Review

I usually like Oxo products, but this one is a real loser. Not only does it not give accurate readings (which in itself should deem it useless, being that it is a THERMOMETER after all) but there are other features that further enhance its horrible design. First of all, the "handy" (so they claim) spin dial that allows you to set the temperature that you want to reach, is so flimsy that the slightest movement of the thermometer throws the dial off. Useless. Secondly, after only one handwashing, water seeped under the dial face which is impossible to get out. The water then turns to steam which fogs up the display so you can't even read its inaccurate readings. 2 weeks later there is STILL steam under the dial. Useless again. And to pour salt on my already stinging wound, I had emailed Oxo to inquire about how to return this item and get a refund weeks ago, but they have yet to respond to me, even though on the package it states that satisfaction is 100 percent guaranteed. Well, I am NOT a satisfied customer and if my second attempt to reach them proves fruitless once again, then I doubt I will ever purchase another Oxo product again, no matter how good they are. It pains me to even give this product one star, as a product that's utterly useless deserves no star at all. Oxo should be ashamed of themselves. Thanks for allowing me to vent my 2 cents.

I bought it because I make ice cream at home and I need exact temperature readings (I use the "How to make ice cream" book that you can find here - superb book).
4 stars because the clip is not strong enough to keep the thermometer up when stirring the mixture while cooking.

Taylor Classic Candy and Deep-Fry Analog Thermometer Review

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.

The secret to deep-fat frying lies in preheating the oil to the proper temperature before adding the food; for this, a thermometer is essential.This model from Taylor meets our criteria for a deep-fat thermometer: clear markings measure from 100F to 400F, its 12 1/2" long, stainless-steel frame is sturdy and features a metal clip that will hold the thermometer safely to the side of your pan up to one inch thick. Also, works well for candymaking, featuring markings for thread, soft ball, hard ball, soft crack and hard crack stages.
