Amazon.com Review
This high-temperature thermometer takes the guesswork out of deep-frying chicken, doughnuts, and french fries or making jelly, fudge, or butterscotch. Its easy-to-read 8-inch face measures temperatures from 100 to 400 degrees F. The face shows proper candy-making temperatures, from "thread" to "hard crack." An adjustable clip on the insulated handle secures the thermometer to a pan. Made of stainless steel with a shatterproof plastic lens, the thermometer measures 12 inches long overall and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

 Ink comes off in your candy! November 30, 2008
SJS (La La Land)
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 November 28, 2008
J. Allison (Land O' Lakes, FL USA)
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? October 29, 2008

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 October 25, 2008

The numbers rub/washed off after two sessions. However, since I use it so rarely, it was too late to send back.
Dependable Thermometer September 7, 2008
L. Wolski (Brownstown, Pa USA)
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.
