"Taylor Classic Candy Thermometer"
I use this product frequently the only problem is that the lettering rapidly wipes away.

"Numbers washed OFF!"
After having washed this thermometer in the top rack of the dishwasher (which I'm pretty sure the packaging said was okay), all the numbers indicating temperature smudged completely off. Other than being completely numberless, it's a great design!

"Great until the numbers disappeared"
This was a great frying thermometer until all the markings eventually got washed off. It lasted several months and withstood many washings, but then all the temperature markings just started disappearing...now I'm left with with a a thermometer that technically works, but is really worthless.

"If you deep fry you must buy this"
I don't make candy but can see how you would need this thermometer for that too. For deep frying, a thermometer is essential. This thermometer is well made and is a necessity for deep frying. I have a 15K BTU burner on my stove and even with that i'm surprised how much the oil temperature drops when food is added. This helps to maintain a temperature suitable for deep fat frying (350 to 375 degrees F). Any hotter, the oil smokes and any cooler the food absorbs oil and gets mushy. The clip on the back of the thermometer adjusts nicely to almost any size pot.

"Expected more from Taylor"
When I purchased this thermometer, I checked the calibration with boiling water, and found it to be spot on. But the first time I washed it in normal soapy water (no dishwasher; no abrasives) the ink legend came right off. Now I have an accurate thermometer, but I have no idea what it is telling me. I purchased the Taylor brand expecting their commercial quality. But this is more of a dollar store product. Stay away, and save your money.

What our customer's say!

"Ink comes off in your candy!", The first time I used this thermometer I pulled it out of my candy and noticed that the numbers on the thing had faded and halfway disappeared, releasing whatever ink they use into the candy I was making. Sure it was a fluke, I returned it to get a new one and the second one did the same thing. Gross!

Talk about a fatal flaw! Not only do the numbers become illegible after two or three uses, but who wants to eat ink? Ew. Stay far, far away.

"Becomes useless after washing", I've used this thermometer twice for deep frying. The temperature never went above 360°. The scale is now gone after washing. If the metal frame was etched, I wouldn't be concerned. And, had I known the scale would wash off, I would have etched it myself. But this thing is now junk and relegated to the trash can. Pretty expensive for a disposable thermometer.

"What more could you want?", I bought this item at a local (nationally owned) grocery store in a pinch because I wanted to try my hand at making my own potato chips. I'd wanted something like this before because i like to fry foods and do a lot of outdoor cooking with my turkey fryer.

I've used quite a few times now, and I wonder where all the negative stink (AKA, reviews) is coming from. I've noticed no disappearance of markings (something that seems to bother a lot of reviewers of lots of other fine items that I've never experienced.

It's extremely accurate and couldn't be easier to use.

The best part? The price!!! So what if the markings (if you really need them, scratch them onto the metal yourself) wear off for whatever reason. Go buy a new one. Perhaps you could get some other product that does a little better, but at what price. I find something like this that I don't use that often to be perfect for what I need it for.

"A thermometer without #'s is No Good", The numbers rub/washed off after two sessions. However, since I use it so rarely, it was too late to send back.

"Dependable Thermometer", I got this temperature indicator because I needed one that immersed in the hot oil without hitting the bottom of the pan and was protected from breakage. I also needed one that responded quickly to temperature changes and this one does just that. The cost was reasonable, while others seemed way overpriced.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Works great for frying-no trouble with numbers", I don't make candy, but do deep fry occasionally. I use this thermometer with my 14" wok and it works beautifully. Just clip it on the back of the wok, pour in the oil, slide the thermometer up or down to submerge the bulb, and fire it up. I wash mine in the dishwasher, on a shelf, so I have never had a reason to touch the numbers. Have used it at least a dozen times and it looks and works like new.

"works well until numbers rub off", this worked fabulous until i washed it and all the numbers came right off! pick another one to buy.

"No stars on this one!", I'm forced, by this system that doesn't allow for '0' stars, to choose the one star I gave. But, this thermometer doen't even deserve the one star. I see from reviews that others have had the same problem I had. The numbers 'melted' off the first time I used it. I'm not sure how this got past their quality control.

"Taylor Candy & Deep Fry Analog Thermometer", Taylor Classic Candy and Deep-Fry Analog ThermometerThe ink showing the temperature rubbed off after the first use. It's virtually unusable, unless you're willing to guess at the temperature.

"If you get what you pay for, this item should be free.", When thermometer gets hot i.e. 200 degrees, ink used for scale will wipe right off. Clip slides up and down to adjust for different depth pots but the clip is not very springy so if used once on a thick walled pot it will not firmly clip onto a thin walled pan. I returned this product and ended up buying, from a restaurant supply store, a cooper 15 inch dial type deep fry thermometer.
