Polder , Stainless Steel THM-515 Candy/Jelly/Deep Fry Thermometer

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

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$$!!!

I bought this for my wife who likes baking and deep frying. She found that most recipes didn't work even though she was using the right temperature according to this thermometer. She suspected that it was not displaying the right temperature. I tested it with boiling water, which should be 100C - the thermometer never got over 66C. I am disappointed with this purchase.

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.
