I bought this item yrs ago and have never used any other since. Recently bought another to give to my stepmom who makes candy on a regular basis but always has trouble with her thermometers. I am a professional pastry chef. I make wedding and special occasion cakes and this is the only thermometer I use. Perfect every time! It clips on to the side of your pot or bowl and can be adjusted to the height of your pot, whch is important since you dont want the tip of the thermometer to sit on the bottom which will give a false reading. You can set it to the desired temp and it beeps when reached. You can actually walk away and it will tell you when sugar is ready! This product has made my cooking life soo much easier and I can not recommend it enough. I would give it 10 stars if I could. I will never use another kind of thermometer again!

For years I've wanted a digital thermometer for high-temperature cooking such as candy-making, but I couldn't find any in local stores, so I went online. Wow -- I wish I had found this earlier. The Maverick is a heavy-duty digital thermometer that measures accurately and quickly every time. You can set it to have an alarm go off at certain presets for both candy-making and deep fat frying, or you can watch the large temperature display to know the exact degrees. The metal cover flips up and down to protect the screen during long time cooking and storage.
The size of the white "head" is rather large, and the temperature presets are tiny and difficult to read if you are far-sighted or need reading glasses. Fortunately, on the back of the box, the manufacturer lists the presets in larger type and in order, so you can tell which space has been selected. The thermometer clips to the side of the saucepan, just as an old-fashioned analog candy thermometer does, which can be a little tricky if your pans have a lip, as my Calphalon pots do. Still, it clips on fairly easily, although I take extra care when removing it to avoid splattering melted sugar. The clip adjusts up and down easily to get the right depth (do this before you start cooking!) and the display can be rotated for optimal viewing.
Clean up is simple. Wash the tip and clip in warm soapy water, taking care not to immerse the electronic part, five to ten minutes after removing from the hot liquid. If I don't get to it soon enough, I simply stick the probe end into a glass of water to remove stubborn sugar, then clean with a soapy sponge.
The advantage of digital readings is huge, even if you don't want to use the presets. With an analog version, you have to get your eyes perfectly level with the thermometer to make sure you have an accurate assessment. Also, the analog versions might slip in their clips, which then requires re-calibration. This digital version is correct every time -- as long as the tip isn't against the bottom of the pot.
I'll take the few disadvantages of this digital thermometer over all the inconveniences of my old analog candy thermometer.

I bought this thermometer for one purpose in mind, to use while making caramels. It has been awesome! My carmels come out perfect everytime because of beeper that goes off when it reaches the certain temperature. I would highly recomend getting this thermometer. Digital is the way to go!

I HAVE BEEN MAKING GOAT MILK FUDGE AND GONE THROUGH 6 THERMOMETERS. I CAN SEE THIS ONE AND SO FAR IT STILL WORKS.

I love to cook, I am big on making jams and jellies, fudgeand other candies, all those great things we think of dureing the holidays and family events. Over the past 8 or so years I have purchased approximately 10 of those glass thermometers you get at the grocery store or gadget store. I have never gotten one I trust. I personally think those are worthless but affordable. I have always envied those with the nice digital thermometers but was not about to pay the price for one. Then I found this item. Resonably priced and exactly what I wished I could afford. Now I could and it has it's own special place in my kitchen. I love it, the price was great, the product is top drawer and I have nothing but praise for the product and the seller. Emerald, Watch out, I'm cooking now!
