20 Best Thermometer For Oil (2022 Updated)

Ease of use. Easy to read. Clip on attachment is awesome. I love this thermometer.

Reads temps real well and easy to use. Fits just about any pot. I ordered 2 but one was broken in shipment. It was bent real bad and when I tried to straighten it broke. Oh well no great loss but the other works Great.

I will reorder another for second cooker.

Good product, works great! The only thing I did t like is the plastic instead of glass lens.

While I am sure this little device gives up a little something to the $100 brand perhaps not quite as waterproof or such things. I really don’t care. I don’t intend to ever drop it in water, run it under water or any such thing.

Happy to just wipe everything clean. It’s VERY fast. Giving a solid reading consistently under 3 seconds, accurate as well. Convenient since it can be hung, or magnetically attached. Large enough to hold and read easily but not so large it is bulky to use.

I like the light up display rather than the backlit LCD which I find difficult to read at times. I also like the convenience of AAA battery use. We always have those around rather than those stupid button batteries you can never find.

Is it as well made as the high priced brand. ehhh maybe not. But at less than 1/4 the price, a 3 year guarantee as well, I can far more easily get my $$$ worth than from the high priced one. Bottom line rock solid device that gives up NOTHING in performance to the high priced one, has a linger guarantee as well and is even easier to read.

I call it a winner. Why 4 star? Well if it offered the build quality and the absolute water resistance as it’s competitor at the same price it would have 5 stars. Suffice to say I am VERY pleased.

I had always wanted a temp pen just like they used on America’s Test Kitchen. I didn’t know exactly what I would do with it but I thought it was necessary to cook like a chef. But ATK always said the price was over $100.

Way too much for something I didn’t think I needed. I was so wrong. My cooking has been so much better. Perfect steaks and pork chops. Chicken that isn’t dry. The pen works beautifully and quickly. The only problem is the unit will turn off automatically and I have to wait a second or two for it to wake up.

It has a big bright display and you can read it in any position because the display will flip to the correct orientation. And the price was nowhere as high as ATK said. I’m sure their unit is faster and fancier but this little pen is perfect for me.

No timing and guessing if our steaks are done – just check the temperature with your pen for the right doneness. I may not cook like a chef, but my time in the kitchen is less hectic and I haven’t had to apologize for dinner being overcooked.

I’m very happy I purchased this temp pen and use it every day. It works just as described. And the price was very reasonable. It has become indispensable in my kitchen.

I purchased the KTKUDY Large LCD Meat Thermometer at the same time so that I could compare. I like the KTKUDY better. The numbers on the ThermoPro are too small to read without glasses whereas I have no trouble reading those on the KTKUDY.

The buttons on the ThermoPro are not intuitive and the labels are tiny. This is not a complicated device, people. You should be able to turn it ON by feel, stick it in the food and read the temperature with grabbing your glasses.

This thing has 3 buttons! They are in a confusing order and they are all identical in size. Who can remember which one turns it on and which one will do something to mess up your reading? In sum, this thermometer is overly complex, hard to use and hard to read.

I get the feeling the designer hadn’t spent even 15 minutes thinking about usability. Not recommended. By the way, the tip on the ThermoPro is too long and sharp. I worry it will break and that it has too small a surface area to accurately measure the temperature.

The dimensions of the tip on the KTKUDY are just about perfect — sufficiently sharp but large enough to get a good temperature reading. However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t add that the KTKUDY looks like a cheap consumer product; the ThermoPro has a better build quality and looks more sturdy and professional.

It has a powerful magnet on the back (which is useless as all the metal surfaces in my kitchen are stainless. ) You can decide which you value more: usability or build quality.

Umm first of all this thermometer is freaking scary accurate. Holds up well to the abuse I’ve put it through. I use it 4-5 times a week on the grill and my GF uses it infinitely more than that. The orange backlight and black numbers is easy to read.

It gets the temp registered quickly. Its just amazing. Great quality. Easy to clean. Rubber tip is good so you don’t impale yourself with it while showing it off drunk to your buddies. Very sturdy and well built.

The ergonomics and rubbery lining ensures for a good grip or placement everytime. I mean just look how great thise mother frigging porkchops look. Those two birds, heavenly. And i don’t even need to mention that steak.

Perfect meat everytime, all the time.

First off the accuracy of this device is exceptional: within 0. 2 deg F of standardized mercury thermometer. Second, easy to read and simple operations. Nice long probe to keep your hand away from hot food and cooking surfaces.

Magnet is great to keep it handy in kitchen (on the fridge) or on cool surfaces of BBQ (if you have them but most are plastic). Have tried several other brands in past few years (mostly cheaper) and found them to be inaccurate and awkward to use (e.

g. , short probes). An earlier model of this device failed after moderate use for 6 months but this current model has been used for 6-8 meals per week (July-Nov 2020) and 3-4 meals per week (Dec 2020) without a problem.

I maintained its accuracy throughout the past six months.

I bought this for my ten year olds son’s science project. He was making candy glass and needed a candy thermometer to boil the sugar to the right temp. This thermometer was so easy to use and worked perfectly.

Candy glass was a hit at the science fair.

I loved it, it worked really well. I used it to get a candy coating to hard crack and it worked perfectly. The numbers were clear to read and the sleeve conveniently had the temperature for each stage.

It is a great product.

– There was a small piece of plastic inside the thermometer. – When taking off the top cover to remove the plastic, the glass edge cracked with nearly no force. – Exchanging, but not sure we would recommend based on the glass quality.

Have made Buttercrunch Toffee using thermometer. First batch burned becuse red printing for soft crack and hard crack is not accurate. Second batch was perfect by referring to numbers. End of thermometer is protected from breakage.

Big plus.

It is large and you have to hold on to it as there is no clip to secure it to the pot while you’re heating the chocolate. It works well and is easy to read. I killed my other candy thermometer. This one looks like it’s good for the long haul.

Handy clip for side of saucepan, easy to read clear indication of different temps and stages of toffee/sugar boiling stages. I’ve made gorgeous fudge

I had another one like this one that lasted for about 30 years, I am hoping this one will last just as long. I used it to make Christmas candy, worked great.

I used this thermometer to check the accuracy of a new induction stove. It worked very well and I was able to fry perfect chicken!

We haven’t used it yet but it looks like it will be just the thing we need for checking water temperature of water.

Great candy thermometer! Nice long length that allows you to easily use it in larger pots. made of stainless steel and has a very easy to read face to the thermometer. high contrast and readings from 100F to 400F.

This candy thermometer was just what I needed. The red arrow makes it easy to read, which is so important. I am very happy with this product. There was great customer service, when UPS lost the order they sent out a replacement the same day.

Exactly what I needed. Years of making candy apples fixed with simple tool. Who knew?

Bought to “upgrade” temp-sensitive recipes (yogurt, candy, etc. ) from the bulb-style which doesn’t read temps less than 100 degrees. Glad I always calibrate any new thermometer in boiling water (212degrees) as one purchased is filled with a mysterious blue liquid that is both unresponsive and overly responsive.

At first attempt to calibrate, some of the blue liquid crept-up the gauge to 180 while the rest stayed at bottom. Second attempt, all the blue liquid slowly rose to 180, eventually to 195 and stayed there even after leaving it in rapidly boiling water for several minutes.

Since the steam was now occluding the gauge, I removed half of the thermometer (bulb end still immersed well below the surface) from the water to wipe the gauge – and the blue liquid promptly dropped to 110! There is no way I could effecitively use this piece of junk with any temp-sensitive recipe so I dried it and returned it within 3 days of purchase.

I have not made candy in over 20 years and so I needed a new thermometer. After watching several videos on YouTube, I noticed how many people where using this type. I am so happy I got this type. It clips easily to the side of the pan, easily adjusts up or down, and can just be leaned in the pan without having to worry about it touching the bottom as the thermometer is completely protected by the casing.

I would highly recommend to anyone making candy as it is easy and safe to use compared to other styles.

All I had was a cheap thermometer before and found myself with candy that was too hard or too soft. It so not accurate and steamed up inside and out to where I couldn’t read the temp. This one is totally accurate, doesn’t steam up, cleans up easy with a short hot soak, and now I have flawless candy recipes that turn out right every time.

I must have forgotten to ready the size dimensions, or there weren’t any. I was expecting something much smaller and this thing is QUITE large, but no regrets regardless of the size at all on my purchase.

After reading other reviews before ordering, I knew it was large in size. Let me tell you it is,but at least you don’t have to wear your glasses to see the readings. I really like it, does what it’s supposed to do.

I recommend it to anyone who needs a good candy/deep fry thermometer. Would purchase again if I ever needed another. With good care it should last you a lifetime.

Used it to make fudge and am pleased. Love the way it stays put on pan and doesn’t touch sides or bottom of pan. Was covered in fudge but was pleasantly surprised when it washed up easily in warm soapy water.

Happy with my purchase.

I wasn’t expecting this candy thermometer to be gigantic but it is. I don’t have a pot in the house I could use this in. So I’m giving it 5 stars because it’s the size that’s the problem and since i haven’t used it I can’t say anything negative about it.

Waterproof and compact – just what I wanted

TranslateShow in original languageSehr schn so gefllt mir das. leuchtet wunderbar in blau und man kann alles wunderbar ablesen. Haben mir die Anzeige jetzt schon zum zweiten mal gekauft. Erfllt absolut ihren Zweck allerdings ist die Anzeige im Auto bei Nacht schon etwas blendend.

Die erste Anzeige habe ich mir fr mein Motorrad gekauft, passt perfekt auf die Gabelbrcke und strt auch nicht bei Nacht (mich jedenfalls nicht).

TranslateShow in original languageAlles soweit OK. Doch das Kabel zur lablassschraube knnte wesentlich lnger sein so 2 Meter etwa. Daher gibt es nur4 Sterne.

I bought this thinking it would take the guesswork out of making fudge. I usually drop the caramel into cold water to determine when it is ready. Today I used the thermometer to tell me when it was at the required temperature.

Unfortunately the mixture burned before I was anywhere near the right temperature. Perhaps I didn’t hold it in long enough but I was being splashed by hot sugar. The mixture also tended to stick and burn as I could not stir it while I had the thermometer in it.

Reads about 10c too low. Tried for making fudge, comparing against one i know is ok. Not worked out yet if i just need to add a correction factor

Good product. I don’t use deep fat fryer. But occasionally make chicken pakoras. So is good for getting correct temperature of oil when making these

this therometer has been good to me with using it on pork roast, steaks, and some barbecue chicken. biggest thing that gives me anxiety is the thermometer being not so precise, SO I test it with 2 others I have laying around and it is perfect precision, id say better then the digital one I have (its now replacing the digital) cause I don’t trust it.

works great and easy to read would recommend x 1000.

With the holidays coming up, I knew we would need a new thermometer. This one is really great! I’m impressed with the size! It is huge!! You can use this on very large cuts of meat! My husband loves it for the BBQ!.

This product is best to check fried foods. Easy to use and has an accurate reading. Now I will never have to worry about under cook fried food. And I can check my cooking oil too. Make frying so much easier.

Easy to read temp. Could not tell if it was really sitting in my pan to make peanut brittle. I placed a second thermometer in the pan and the other one read a lot higher. Needless to say my peanut brittle did not turn out.

Would not trust this thermometer.

Wow, very well made item – as all Winco products are. This thermometer is larger than I was expecting, but it has an adjustable clip on the back and I’m actually glad it’s bigger than I thought because now I can use it for bigger pots also, when needed.

Total piece of junk, had many air bubbles in the liquid inside the tube so measurement was not even close.

I have to admit I don’t do a lot of deep frying in my kitchen, so when I was gifted the Taylor Deep Fry/Candy Thermometer in exchange for my honest review, I had to bust the fryer out and treat myself to a little smorgasbord of fried foods.

The thermometer worked very accurately, and everything turned out great. I rarely make candies, which this tool can also be used for, but I do enjoy whipping up a batch of fudge once in a while, so I made some chocolate and some peanut butter fudge as well, so I could test this item out.

Again, it gave a very accurate reading, and both batches of fudge were delicious. This item has a slide arrow on the side that you can place right at the temperature you want your oil or confections to reach, so it’s very easy to tell when you’re at the desired temp.

It also clips easily onto just about any pot or fryer, so you can use it hands-free while you are tending to other tasks. If you are an avid candy cook or deep fryer user, this is an item you need in your kitchen.

It also comes with a one year warranty in case you have any issues, but it seems to be very sturdy, so I wouldn’t even be concerned with it wearing out on you!.

I was gifted the Taylor Deep Fry/Candy Thermometer to use and submit an honest review. As I do not usually use this type of thermometer, I decided to test its accuracy and ease of use when boiling water.

On my first attempt, I did not have enough water in the pot and when the water was at a rolling boil, the thermometer only registered a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit (quite short of the expected 212 degrees).

Realizing that the thermometer tip was not at the minimum 2. 5 inches into the water as directed, I repeated the test this time adding more water and making sure that the tip of the thermometer was at least 2.

5 inches into the water. On this second try, the thermometer gave an accurate reading of 212 degrees F when the water began boiling. Learning from this experience, I would recommend that consumers follow the directions carefully and make sure that you have enough candy/oil in the pot you are using so that the tip of the thermometer is at least 2.

5 inches into the liquid or food. With that said, I liked how easy it was to read the bright red dial as the temperature was rising. I also thought that the little black temperature indicator that you can easily slide to the desired temperature before using was a great idea and made it easy to see if/when thermometer was at the target temperature.

The clip used to hold the thermometer in place worked sufficiently for my purposes. Now having learned how easy it is to use this type of thermometer, I will have to try making some candy !.

I love the versatility of this thermometer! I can use it on different sized pots and the 9 inch length and adjustable clip make it easy to do so. It can be used for deep frying, candy making, cooking various foods.

The face is easy to read so you can keep an eye of your desired temperature, along with a guide for quick reference on different food temperatures. It is extremely accurate from 50 degrees F to 550 degrees F.

I was gifted this item for my honest review. I really like all the features and look forward to making more donuts and candy! I would definitely recommend this thermometer!.

Durable and comfortable to use. The numbers are visible absolutely. Frying goes so tasty with the right temperature. Very necessary thing! Thank you!!! Good Job!

I like the thermometer. It seems well made. However I do wish the sensor in it was a little further down. It’s neantbfor a deep pot but it would be better for me if I could use it for smaller batches in a smaller less deep pot.

Nice thermometer. Nothing extras or any of that. But it is perfect for when i need to being my oil/butter mixture in between the right temperature for bar soap, and when i am watching the lye/liquid temperature for my needed temperature.

Perfectly long enough for the double boiler.

The clip on hook is my favorite feature. It hooks on a glass that I set inside a tub for measuring water temps for hot/cold therapy arm soaks. If it gets loose (which it hasn’t yet) it will be simple to slide off and put a little bend in the clip metal.

Yes it does fit on the side of a saucepan to measure cooking temps too. Easy to read. Love that this can go in the dishwasher if needed. Works perfectly.

The actual temperature-telling aspect of the thermometer is pretty good, but the clip to hold it to a pot is utterly useless. When I used the thermometer for the first time, the clip immediately bent out of the way and wouldn’t hold it in place.

I tried to wedge it in place, but it repeatedly fell off, including into the hot oil once before falling to the floor and breaking. I’ve used tin foil that’s sturdier than that worthless holder. Do not buy this unless you have some other way to hold it.

This is the perfect item if you plan to make candy, fudge or deep fry your food. Since I only make fudge at during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays I have already started looking forward to the coming months.

Since you can hang it on the pot you are cooking in it makes the thermometer even more useful and allows you to walk away. I highly recommend for all cooks.

The digital thermometer has a large display window, easy to read temp. Seems accurate compare with a standard thermometer. Shut down a bit too fast, but you only have to put it on. Good buy!

I used this thermometer for making Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Though it reads the temperature quite well, I have issues with the clip. The clip is very flimsy and does not cling to bowls very well. I don’t use thermometers often so this works fine for my occasional use.

I just hold the thermometer with my free hand. If you’re looking to free your hands by simply attaching a thermometer to a bowl then, I would not recommend this product. Other than that, I like that the display is adjustable and that it is an easy-read digital thermometer.

I have a 4 inch thermometer with no clip. It worked fine when I was using induction burners, but gas stoves are hot. It was to hard to hold the thermometer that close to the flame, so I needed a new tool.

This Taylor thermometer is twice as long as my old one and it has a clip, I can just clip it one to the pot and not burn my hand, just be careful not to hit the probe to hard and knock the whole thing in the pot, or flame.

This thermometer also has a pretty large digital screen that I can read form a few feet away.

I teach cooking classes so I bought this thermometer for my class. I have a digital one for home use. This new one I bought is brand new in the package. Yet it’s 30+ degrees off. As you can see in my photo, my digitial thermometer reads 202 degrees.

The new one I just bought reads 170 degrees in the same pot of water. Don’t waste your money on this.

I bought this a couple of months ago to be ready to make Christmas candy, but I should have paid more attention to the reviews. It is a piece of junk. The temperature is off around 75 degrees, it is hard to position on your pan, and the little metal arrow on the rim pops off if you even just look at it.

Very disappointed. Should have checked the temp accuracy when it arrived.

We don’t eat much in the way of fried foods, but we did give it a try this past week. It works great. The clip to hold it on the side of the pot was very helpful as was the handle.
