Amazon.com Review
This high-temperature thermometer takes the guesswork out of deep-frying chicken, doughnuts, and french fries or making jelly, fudge, or butterscotch. Its easy-to-read 8-inch face measures temperatures from 100 to 400 degrees F. The face shows proper candy-making temperatures, from "thread" to "hard crack." An adjustable clip on the insulated handle secures the thermometer to a pan. Made of stainless steel with a shatterproof plastic lens, the thermometer measures 12 inches long overall and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

 Marking wiped off after handwashing December 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I agree with other reviewers that the clip is very functional and the thermometer is accurate. However, even with only going to hard-ball stage, never deep-frying, and never washing in a dishwasher, the marking has smudged off. Even when completely cool and dry, you can take your finger and rub off the words and the all important scale, both large and small tick marks.
Another reviewer mentioned that he or she continues to use it despite this fact, but I am not sure how. When the steam and bubbling sugar of of stove-cooked confections begins to take off, I cannot see the faint remnants of the marks. Also, the surface of the scale marking is smooth, so it's not like you can just count blind embossed or debossed markings. There really is nothing left to see.
I am not happy with a such a critical flaw in a kitchen tool.
 Just what we needed..... December 22, 2008
Thermometer helped us through making over 30# of Christmas goodies. Well worth the money, and one less hassel.
My numbers washed off, too. December 19, 2008
Like many other reviewers here, the numbers on my thermometer washed off the first time I used it. Useless.
Useless December 5, 2008
The numbers wiped off when cleaning after the first use. I just used a damp cloth.
Ink comes off in your candy! November 30, 2008
The first time I used this thermometer I pulled it out of my candy and noticed that the numbers on the thing had faded and halfway disappeared, releasing whatever ink they use into the candy I was making. Sure it was a fluke, I returned it to get a new one and the second one did the same thing. Gross!
Talk about a fatal flaw! Not only do the numbers become illegible after two or three uses, but who wants to eat ink? Ew. Stay far, far away.
