This is the second of these units I’ve owned, and I like it a lot

This is a fry thermometer, not a candy thermometer. You should not try to use this as a candy thermometer, but as a fry Thermometer, it works outstanding. The first one of these I had got broken and I immediately ordered a replacement of the very same unit. I’m very happy with this and if this one gets broken, I’ll order a third one. It’s easy to read the dial is large enough so you can read it and the accuracy is right on

Not For Shallow Frying
By Ryan Houseknecht on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2012
I'll keep this short. If you are frying in 3+ inches of oil, this is probably a great thermometer. Anything less than 2.5 inches and you will be disappointed. The reasons: The temperature sensor is located 2.5 inches from the very bottom tip of the thermometer. So, if you don't cover the sensor with with a little liquid more to spare, you won't get an accurate reading. This means that you'll want a different thermometer for shallow frying or candymaking. The readout is consistent and the holder works fine to keep it at the right height and the correct distance from the sides of the pot. It calibrates easily and accurately. Perfect for turkey fryers. It gets 3 out of 5 stars from me because I expected the sensor to be a little closer to the very tip of the thermometer. With the adjustable height of the holder there doesn't seem to be a very good reason for such a distance.
