Q: An it be used in candy making?
submitted by Nancy - 17 days ago
A: Hi Nancy, We recommend an actual candy/deep fry thermometer which is longer and goes to a higher temperature. The stem on the 1" instant read dial is not very long so it depends on the pan being used and it only goes up to 220F, while most candy recipes require higher temperatures. Good news is that Target does carry a Target candy/deep fry thermometer so please take a look at that item. Thanks!

Q: the face of the thermometer shows 0, 20......145. How would one measure the temp of water for yeast growth? Looking for temps btw. 20 and 145. I don't see them on the dial.
submitted by Linda - 2 years ago
A: The thermometer has markings for the other degrees of temperatures; the photo is angled in a manner that is obscuring the rest of the dial face. We will work to add additional images. Thanks!

Also, you can thread the stem of the thermometer through the hole on the end of the sleeve to act as a a holder and keep hands away from

As many others have said, it doesn't give a reading past 140ish. I have tested it and it just stops and sits at a lower temp when the meat is definitely higher.

Evasmama - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
So my husband got this cause he didn't want a digital one for silly reasons but this one gets me so mad. You either have to wait forever for it to get a reading or it just doesn't seem to register on small things. For a big Turkey or ham it worked but it hasn't worked on chicken breasts and thin meats.

Straight forward product. Does what it is supposed to do. Accurate reading. Easy to use and clean. I picked this one because I needed a new thermometer but I didn’t want to spend more than $10, after all it’s just a thermometer. I use it to measure the temperature of welted soy wax chips, that I use to make wax melts.

The thermometer works as it’s supposed to. The screen is a tad small, so if your eyesight is terrible I don’t recommend it. My ribeye roast came out perfect because I was monitoring the temp with the thermometer. Money well spent, and it was the cheapest one too.

Ramz - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is barely reactive to food. I’ve baked salmon and took it right out of the oven and it says 110. Used an infrared thermometer and it read 140F. It works for running hot water because I got 150F and up. Also read 160F for cooked rice. I feel like it doesn’t work that well with meats and fish. Doesn’t get an accurate reading when the it is clearly cooked and well done. Also, whenever it isn’t in use for weeks it just stays at 80 all the time. Probably best for food with lots of water.
Great for reading temps!

This thermometer simply doesn't work, it doesn't accurately reflect the temperature and also moves at a super slow speed to a temperature. Returning as soon as I can.
