GoodCook Everyday Candy & Deep Fry Thermometer Glass Tube Construction with Built-In Pan Clip Includes Fahrenheit & Celsius Measurements & Protective Storage Sleeve, Red

Fantastic product! I even purchased one for myself and another for my mother so we could both work on mastering (or conquering!) divinity candy. It works really well, is easy to read, and has helped us make steady progress getting our candy just right. Definitely a great tool if you’re getting into candy making or deep frying. Highly recommend!

I expected it to be smaller but I’ve never a candy thermometer so what do I know. It’s about 8”. And it works! I was making toffee for my second time ever (first time was an epic fail and is what caused me to buy this) and it was night and day difference! I will say because it was so large I couldn’t clip it onto my pan because then it would touch the bottom which it shouldn’t do. I had to manually hold it with the hand I wasn’t stirring with and keep it just off the bottom. Perfect toffee! It has marks on it saying “soft crack” and “hard crack” so even if your recipe didn’t say to take it off the heat at 305°, you would know because it’s right on the thermometer! Highly recommend!

This thermometer is essential for achieving perfect candy stages and deep-fry temperatures, offering clear markings and a secure clip for hands-free monitoring. Be careful, however, as the glass can be fragile if not handled gently during cleaning.

I can't attest to the accuracy of the reading as this is the only working thermometer of this type that I have right now. The red pieces on the detachable holder fell off mine. I'm going to have to glue it back into place (first time using it) and I had to bend the metal to get it to hold firm on my pot. Otherwise it kept falling sideways and shifting around as I was stirring. But, for under $5 I feel it worked adequately for what I needed it to do. It was hard to read while in the pot and i Had to take it off to read it more than once.

This is the 2nd candy thermometer I have bought, same brand and all. Apparently if you drop it on to the floor it breaks!? Anyways my bad. I like to make caramel sauce and started dabbling in some hard candies. I like how it comes with an easy to use clip that clips to the side of the pot, you can also twist the thermometer to where you can see the degrees, my stove has a slant to it so everything kinda leans forward so I clip it to the side of the pan closer to the deeper end of the pot and then twist it to where I can read the degrees. My only complaint is that it fogs up and so I end up having to wipe the glass frequently in order to see what temp it's at. Other than that, which can be a bit annoying especially if you have to work fast once it reaches a certain temp. Oh and it is in Farenhite and Celsius.

When it fogs up, it's hard to read but I can move it around, it does get condensation inside, the top does come off to air it afterwards, It's about 1-2 degrees low but no that serious, I also live above 4500', so boiling points a little less so it could really be dead on and I'm just not reading those lines perfectly, still perfect for my needs.

I’ve use this thermometer 3 times for candy apples. So far, it has worked great. I like how the clip is angled, making it easier to loosen from the pot. The protective storage tube is a plus!

I needed a candy thermometer to replace one that went missing in my kitchen (no doubt used for some science project by my daughter.). I chose this product for ease of reading the numbers and because I wasn't sure I trusted my old dial-faced thermometer anyway. When I went to use this thermometer for the first time I realized that the clip for securing it to the pan was angled so as to hold the tip against the pot, regardless of ways I tried to manipulate it. I feel like that doesn't give an accurate reading so my only choice was to hold the thermometer in place with one hand while trying to stir with the other. Because it relies on liquid to identify the temperature, it needs to be held in place longer for an accurate reading. Overall I feel this product Is a fail, since I simply don't have enough hands to do it all!

Great cooking thermometer. You can see the temperature rising. The glass never gets seamed.

Very precise and lovely cover. All is good. Only problem is that the clamp cover is made of plastic that doesnt withstand the heat and thus both of my thermometers have melted from that end but still operating imperfect condition

Buen producto, recomendable por calidad - precio

Excellent Product! Must buy! Not at all expensive, super accurate, reads the temperature within 2-3 seconds!

Works great even for frying like eggrolls etc. Happy I bought it. Great help when cooking.
