A great digital thermometer for candies, is not oven safe
Purchased as a candy thermometer for fudge this year after my mercurial one broke. Easy to clean and has a pot clip. Accurate, and runs on two watch batteries with an automatic off feature when not in use. Multiple temperature settings and will beep when done.Do NOT put this in the oven. While it works fine with the clip as a candy thermometer, if used for meats you cannot put this in the oven or over a grill. You will need to skewer the meat and wait for an accurate temperature and then remove it and continue cooking as necessary.

Great Thermometer with Addition of Expensive Pot Clip.
This is a pretty good thermometer. I test it from time to time in ice water and it is within 2 degrees F and gets there pretty quickly. The pot clip will make a nice addition to your trash can. I also have a more expensive digital candy thermometer which is even more accurate, but takes up to 10 minutes to read the correct temperature so I took the pot clip off of it and put it on this thermometer.I just wanted to give an update. I bought this about 1 1/2 years ago and it is still pretty accurate. Unfortunately the LCD display can't handle the heat. When I get over about 240 F it gets harder and harder to read. Maybe I can set up the beeps to let me know where I am. I have had a huge amount of trouble finding a good candy thermometer. I have a Javelin Pro instant read thermometer that so far is great at reading temperature, but you have to hold it. I just bought a Winco candy thermometer that has a great pot clip and stays out of the way in the pot, but guessing is more accurate than the thermometer.

Super durable
TLDR; really stands up to the test of time.I have had this thermometer for nearly five years. Originally purchased to make candy and caramels but it is now a staple in our kitchen. But here is the wildest test for it that I do not recommend. I was baking a large cut of meat. Set the thermometer to the desired temperature and inserted in to the meat. My kids came barreling in to the kitchen arguing so I shut the oven door for "just a second" to shoo them out. I obviously got distracted and resumed my other cooking. Twenty minutes later I hear beeping coming from the oven that the temperature has been reached. I fly to the oven to save the thermometer but the screen was completely black and not operational. I put the thermometer on the counter to return to after dinner and search the brand name to replace it. A couple of hours later I returned to find that the screen was back to normal! I have continued using it without issue! Would not recommend using the thermometer in the oven but keep hope if you accidentally do.

Faulty thermometer!!
I bought this to make candy making easier. The clip is garbage. It literally sprung upwards and off the pot causing hot caramel to splatter all over my stove and onto my hand. Thankfully I wasn't burned badly. I had to use another clip to keep it in place. When it reached 240 the screen changed to celcius and only showed partial information. It then went completely blank and left me scrambling to find another thermometer at a crucial stage in my caramel. This thermometer is garbage and doesn't read above 240. The face stayed partially blank for several hours and was hard to turn back on. Don't buy this thermometer.
