Taylor 9839-15 9" Swivel Head Digital Candy / Deep Fry Probe Thermometer

Nice design, but the temperature was reading 5-10 degrees lower than two other digital thermometers I compared it with so it's useless for making candy. The candy I made with it also came out much harder than usual based on the temperature the thermometer indicated so that definitely confirms this thing is defective.

A candy makers must have! The only thing I dislike is the metal piece that holds the thermometer to the pot is a little wonky, but it works great and keeps your hands away from the flame.

I love this thermometer. But the battery started to leak after a week due to heat. It is high quality. But other than the battery problem ill definitely will not hesitate to buy more.

Got this item about a month ago. It has worked as advertised the few times that I have had the need to use the item. So far, I would buy it again.

This thermometer stopped working after a couple of months of use. I purchased in July, didn’t use it until September. I realized it wasn’t working on Nov 1 so I ordered batteries because I couldn’t find those anywhere. Replaced the battery and still didn’t work. Bummer.

Works well, wish the thermometer got to temp slightly faster.

This works very well. Love the length of the probe & the clip on!

Bought this to use for cooking hard candy and caramel so I could read it without my glasses. I don't believe that it reads correctly. The caramel always seems soft when using this one as opposed to the mercury thermometer. When testing side-by-side with a mercury thermometer, this thermometer reads hotter.

Reliable thermometer that has works everytime. I use this thermometer often and have certainly had zero.issues with it. Comes in handy when on sales calls an have to temp a fryer before frying items.

The clamp doesn't stay secure to the edge of the pan. It works fine in very deep pans but not well in shallow pans without falling over and making a mess. I usually have to hold it and stir which kind of defeats the purpose of the clamp.

We use this to monitor temp on our fruit mixtures to make sure they don't get too hot and pasteurize. It works great, and we've had it for a while now.

I love this thermometer. I personally use to make hard candy mix and shells. It is very precise and works pretty good even when its in the wide pan and liquid is shallow.

Best thermometer for measuring the temperature of the caramel. Long enough to not burn yourself. Very accurate with temperature and easy to use. Will buy it again.

As reiterated by other 1 star ratings - the clip for this sucks, and makes it almost impossible to keep attached to the pot without falling off. Definitely consider a different design.

We have lost most of the other thermometers in our house so this is now one of our go tos. It does its job, the temperature seems pretty accurate and it takes the reading in a few seconds. It's a little long for some of our uses, but that is okay.

This thermometer works very well! I’ve ordered at least 5 of them because I make French Macarons! Unfortunately they are not water proof so I’ve had to order a few of them but definitely cost effective and there accurate !

This was so handy during the Christmas candy making season and love the digital to know exact temps. So much quicker to read then the old style thermometer.

I would say that for its quality and its price it could easily be the best digital thermometer you can find right now. It works great.

We use the thermometer for deep frying and it works well and seems accurate. The adjustable head is useful when working with different sized pots.

I love that this thermometer has an on/ off button. It reads fast and so far has been accurate every time. I would highly suggest this product for your business and safe reads!
