I am a professional and use this daily. I calibrated this a couple times.. works fine but I wish it were a bit more waterproof. Especially when the dishwasher keeps forgetting not to put in dishwater! I have water inside mine and its still pretty accurate. I make caramels and other sugar candies all the time and have been through a plethora of thermometers. I'm getting a second one of these and trying a waterproof one.. review to follow

What I like about this is simply the simple construction of it. Mostly metal, easy to read, and pretty accurate. Most of these thermometers these days have been over engineered and made out of frail materials. You have to be too careful with them and they are, in my opinion, a little over priced. Not worth the price tag on them. They are food thermometers, not full kitchen appliances. I like the brands that have been around for decades. Norpro has and I can see why.

I had previously bought a digital display thermometer. DO NOT buy any plastic, digital thermometers. They cannot withstand active heat, so when you are heating your candy in the pot on the stove they will start melting and shutting off and you can't attach it onto the pot.This thermometer is perfect for making candy. It goes past the 305ºF that you need for making hard candy. It doesn't roll around on your countertop as easily because of its interesting shape. It has an adjustable metal clip that you adjust by pinching it in so that the probe tip is right above the bottom of the pot. The clip fits great on the pot edge. Cleaned easily and only had to put it in a pot of very hot water for a little bit to get the hard candy residue off.I don't know what else you would want from a candy thermometer. I found this because of its very positive Amazon reviews. And, this is a case where I am very appreciative of Amazon's review system.

I would have given this 5 stars if I had used it, but this purchase was a replacement for a similar thermometer that I have used for years. This style is very difficult to find. Purchased a glass tube thermometer and first round of English Toffee and that one broke. I had to resort to old original thermometer ( which temp is off) after researching, I found this one.couldnt order it fast enough, I can’t wait for next holiday season. Hoping it works as well as original.

Thermometer doesn’t temp accurately-it’s off by 100 degrees-H2o boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit-this registers it at 100-120 degrees farhrenheit-will not go over 180 degrees-I know the temp is higher than the 180 it reads because the hard candy mixture I have forms hard brittle strings when dropped in cold water-it has reached the hard crack stage at that point which is over 300 degrees Fahrenheit...

I'm not sure if I received a defective one. I use it when I boil sugar for Italian meringue buttercream. I can already see that the sugar is past the soft ball stage, yet the temp is only reading 230 degrees. When I stuck my digital thermometer in, it read over 250 already. I purchased this one because of the clip (with my digital one, I have to babysit the pot because there's no way to leave it in there), but the reading is inaccurate.

Not bad but would like to see more temps broken down to 5 instead of 20+ to get a more precise measure.
