Taylor 5983N 12" Candy / Deep Fry Paddle Thermometer

Nice, stable thermometer. Works great for checking and maintaining oil temps. Make sure to keep it to the back of the pan or fryer. The large handle is easy to his and knock down splashing hot oil around.

Perfect little kitchen sidekick. I use it for making caramel and sauces. Also I use it for frying donuts and what not. Many many uses and it is very accurate!

Capable to handle up to 300*F when making caramel still good

Great thermometer withe reliable temperature display. I use it when making ramen soup. Love that you can attach it to your pot as well. Goes with basic model wont go wrong.

I used to love these thermometers. Even if sometimes slow, they were always reliable. Unfortunately, something must have changed in manufacturing as the mercury consistently separates and stays separated.

Taylor thermometers have always been reliable for us - this is a very basic model, but that means there is nothing to go wrong with it.

These have been great thermometers. They are accurate and hold onto the side of the pan. We are constantly reaching for them when making Italian meringue.

I purchased this thermometer after breaking multiple glass tube thermometers. At first I thought the size was too large for my typical home uses but now I’m very pleased with the versatility. I can use in smaller pots as well as large stock pots and it’s very easy to adjust the clamp to place the thermometer in the right depth.

We ordered four of these for a candy making class and they worked accurately during the class. They have been used multiple times by many different students and still work great!

We use this thermometer for candy making and it is a solid piece of kitchen equipment. Sturdy and the numbers are easy enough to see and read.

Works well, the 12” size really helps for larger pots and larger batches of candy making. I use this while I’m making my caramels and toffees, and it’s worked perfectly for me so far!

I used this for a French Silk pie I recently made and I was able to measure the temperature without the guess work. It’s easy to use and easy to clean.

With an adjustable latch, you can fit this thermometer to almost any post and it will work like a charm. This is really great for frying, to make sure you maintain the right temperature in your oil without getting too hot or cool. I haven't made candy with this, but I'm sure it is great.

I make alot of caramel and this is the best and the most durable candy thermometer I have. I would recommend it to anyone who makes and candy or caramel.

These thermometers are perfect for anyone working with sugar or deep-frying. The 12" length means there's plenty of space between you and the dangerously hot contents of the pot and the readings are consistent, accurate, and legible.

The Taylor 12" Classic Candy and Deep Fry Thermometer is exceptional. I was expecting a cheaply made one because of the price but, that isn't what I received. Highly recommended!

This is one of the most true temp thermometers I have have found. When preparing sugar for candy making, temperature must be exact of the product will fail. This candy thermometer helps me maintain my temperatures and ensure I have an evenly heated product every time.

It is vital to know the temperature of your oil when frying and your sugar when making candy. This does the job as well as you could ask!
