"Does appear to accurately measure temperatures."
"I've only used it once on a turkey breast, but it is reassuring to know the internal temperature is hot enough to kill bacteria."
"If you're at all serious about cooking at home, you need a proper meat thermometer."
"Great product."
"The probe on the thermometer works great, but....the black holder (doesn't hold the thermometer in place) when not in use."
"works great for me!"

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have read the many complaints about the clip, but don't quite understand why that is enough of an issue to downgrade this fine thermometer. If you leave the thermometer clipped to the edge of the pan, you will never get a really accurate reading for delicate sugar preparations. Just stir the pan really well, submerge the tip of the thermometer in the mixture, making very sure to NOT touch the bottom of the pan(this will cause a false reading, as the bottom of the pan next to the burner will be much hotter than the mixture as a whole), and Voila!, you will have a very precise temp."
"I've been too prideful about my candy making skills to buy a thermometer for too long!"
"the clip on this model is angled which makes it hard to hook onto a pot that has a straight edge and not a lip."
"I was a little hesitant at first after reading the reviews that stated how the screen would go black after it got to a certain tempurature."
"Excellent ~ I have only used this once but it worked great."
"I cook my sugar to 350F to make a bit more flavorful caramel sauce."
"The alarm goes off 3* prior to the temp you set it at."
"I was really hoping that the bad reviews were just anomalies, and that I'd get one that worked, as I've been searching for a decent candy thermometer for some time."

"I was surprised to find such a quality thermometer for such a cheap price."
"My wife had no issues with using this thermometer for tempering chocolate and several candy projects this Christmas."
"Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but will be making marshmallows this weekend and boiling sugar can be very painful."
"At first I thought it wouldn't work well in my pans, but the back slides so can be adjusted to hook on pans of various sizes."
"I make homemade caramels and it seem regular candy thermometers break easily in this house."
"I use for my deep fryer pot."
"The design is good: clips onto the side of the pot, the top part is made of a material that doesn't get too hot so it is easy to remove, and the scale is clearly readable both in Celsius and Fahrenheit."
Best Dial Thermometers
Each fry kettle has its own instructions, but generally for best results the oil should first be heated to between 375 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and after the bird is added, maintained at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Large and easy-to-read, the 2-inch dial registers temperatures ranging from 100 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be left in after cooking is complete to ensure the oil has completely cooled. A 14-pound bird usually cooks in approximately 45 minutes. Since a large amount of hot oil is required, turkeys and other poultry should always be deep-fried outdoors. Measurement Range:100 to 500 F/38 to 260 C. Adjustable stainless steel clip-5 year limited warranty.

"The clip, which is a big failure point on most thermometers worked well on my pot and provides some degree of swivel to point it straight down into the oil and keep it out of the way."
"This works great on my wood stove for keeping eye on temerature of stove."
"Great item, it was better than expected, superb condition, would deal with again, highly recommended, shipping was fast."
"However, I found it a bit difficult to keep the probe close to the wall of the pot - it kept wandering into the middle and getting in the way of my fry tools."
"Mine stopped working completely after the first use, the way it measures temp is by a coil metal filament inside the long neck."
"We took the temp of the oil with another thermometer and it read almost 500 degrees!"
"I just stuck it into a deep fryer for a quick read and this one did not show temp accurately, or compared to the built in thermometer on the fryer or my neighbors $100 plus thermapen."

"This will roughly give you a temperature of 212 F. Boiling water, in equilibrium (or the entire fluid being the same temperature) will maintain 212F no matter how quickly the water is evaporating. In practice, these are used for taking a quick, general measurement of fluid temperature or identifying heat losses. I have used this at my home to identify what rooms are cooler then others, draughts around doors or windows and leaks in the HVAC system."
"I own a cryptocurrency miner and it also works great there as well for really getting a good idea of the real temps of things like VRMs and the like. I've been able to easily locate the source of air leaks all over the house to quickly caulk and spray foam them as necessary."
"Warnings about pointing at animals and people should be strictly adhered to as with any laser product to prevent eye damage and shouldn’t be used or handled by children."
"The device supports both Fahrenheit and Celsius readings and can switch back and forth between the two while maintaining the current value."
"I also like that the company sent a follow up letter asking if I had any questions or concerns."
"It seemed to be not as accurate as this unit and lasted just several years and then began to give random readings."
"Lots of custom/ aftermarket parts makes troubleshooting a little more involved than a factory car."
