Escali AHC1 NSF Certified Candy/Deep Fry/Confection Thermometer with Extra Dial, 5.5" Probe, Silver

Unfortunately the one we received was grossly inaccurate. Off by nearly 150F in 300F oil (reading 450 ish). Another digital thermometer was reading 300F in the same pot. Placed in water to clean and was still reading nearly 220F. Water was not boiling and barely warm. UPDATE: Vendor offered to refund cost without the need to ship item back.

Very good

This thermometer is very accurate and is well made and durable, I used this to make rock candy for the first time and it was perfect although I got the larger size when the smaller is definitely better if you’re using just a regular saucepan, it was very easy to clean up after since it’s made out of metal and the size is exactly as described. Overall this is a great thermometer and is very useful.

This is a very nice cooking thermometer, but the holding clamp is not angled correctly for a Lodge® cast iron skillet with high sides. As it comes from the factory, the clamp works, but it doesn't hold the thermometer tightly, and the angle is wrong for my preferences. I studied the clamp and thermometer for a while and after quite a bit of metal bending and experimenting, I found the correct way to bend the holding clamp so the thermometer is vertical and, perhaps most importantly, is very steady so it doesn't go sideways or shift when I am frying chicken or fish. Overall, including experimenting time to get the angles correct, it took about 30 minutes to get the holding clamp the way I like it. I think this is the best that can be done with this holding clamp, and I suppose there is a way to design and build a holding clamp or metal piece that will be all the more rigid, but that might be too much work. The practical aspect is that the holding clamp is working nicely now to keep the thermometer vertical and stable so using it with hot peanut oil at 350-degrees Fahrenheit is safe and does not require constant fidgeting with the thermometer. I like this thermometer, and it probably will last longer than the "candy thermometers" with glass tubes and mercury or red alcohol, which soon stop working due to bubbles so that instead of being a steady column that stops at the current temperature, it's a bunch of bubbles and there is no way to read it or to return it to factory condition. For reference, I am a Vine Voice but I paid for this thermometer myself and nothing was free.

Entrega un poco tarde, buena calidad, precio accessible, facil instalacion, le falta manual de uso, deveria venir mejor empaquetado ya que es una pieza fragil.
