Hi. Looking for a really good (not necessarily expensive) candy thermometer. Is the high-priced digital from Williams Sonoma worth it? I appreciate your feedback.

I like my Polder digital thermometer. No opening the oven door and no poking of a lot of extra holes in the meat. You put the probe in the meat run the wire out of the oven into the digitl unit and set the temperature you want....

Cheapest, I’m not sure. But I highly recommend getting a digital probe thermometer that includes a timer. They are so valuable. When my first one broke (see below), I realized that I felt practically helpless roasting a...

the Polder for deep frying but my candy thermometer broke abd I bought a Redi-Chek digital oil and candy thermometer which I like. Candy

Need to find a good one. I bought one at Williams Sonoma, and it sucks. Doesn’t need to be digital, it just needs to work in an Oven (Oven Proof). I checked Sur La Table, but I thought I would check with the Chowhound...

I need a good thermometer for cooking roasts (especially with the holidays coming up) and I am torn between getting a meat thermometer (one that you leave in the roast) and a probe thermometer. I’m leaning toward the probe,...

Over the past decade I’ve ruined at least a dozen “instant read” digital thermometers and analog-dial types as some kind of Thanksgiving tradition. I have yet to find one that doesn’t have wood or plastic...

I don’t have a candy thermometer, but I have a digital probe one. Can I use that for making candy? Nothing too fancy, just caramels and fudge?

Probe thermometers always seemed tenuous to me. I have a regular stick digital thermometer (not a probe) by Polder and it’s been reliable even when I’ve mistreated it.

, what do kind would all you confectioners out there recommend? I think I want an analog thermometer for the accuracy’s sake. Digital thermometers tend to drift out of calibration over time. My other criterion is that the...

don’t see any reference to this anywhere online. I like the idea of the digital thermometer with the wire probe so you can know the temperature without even opening the oven – this seems like the holy grail of checking...

Return it and get a refund and buy a digital thermometer with an alarm for about 30 bucks. it’s more accurate. You don’t have to hover and wait for the exact temp to be reached, it will give an audible alarm when the...

. Digital thermometers work well however you have to be careful because unless they have a holder to clip to the side of a pan, you have to hold it to get a proper reading, otherwise the probe will hit the bottom of the pan....

if you are really only using it for roasting, get a probe-style with an digital readout. They are only about $20. Like one person suggested, just make sure that your digital thermometer allows YOU to set the alarm temps and...

I have an older cuisinart instant read thermometer, has the dial scale, not digital. I think I have kind of been misreding it because I wait for the the temp to stop rising after inserting it for reading, but I think by doing...
