Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Taylor Classic Candy and Deep-Fry Analog Thermometer
Customer Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Numbers came right off the scale into the candy I was making. Impossible to avoid because the scale must be submerged in order to read. Had to throw out the thermometer and the candy too.
Also, the reading was a bit off, it indicated a hard crack and it definitely wasn't past the ball stage.
Apparently, from reading other reviews, these problems are not uncommon.
I would definitely op for the higher priced digital candy thermometer at this point.
Customer Review: Sad but true: the numbers *do* wear off :-(
Summary: 1 Stars
These are probably the easiest candy/deep-fry thermometers to find... too bad they don't live up to expectations. The numbers wear off quickly, and you'll get 1-3 uses before you're back to guessing what the temp is. It doesn't seem to matter *how* you wash them, the numbers will fade (if you use the dishwasher), or just wipe off (if you hand wash and dry).
I'm still on a search for the ideal candy/deep-fry thermometer; unfortunately this isn't it.
Customer Review: Ink comes off in your candy!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.

Taylor Classic Candy and Deep-Fry Analog Thermometer
This is not the first time that I have bought a Taylor Candy Thermometer so I was very surprised when after using it the first time with Olive Oil.
After letting it cooled down I took Paper Towel to wipe the oil off and some the of number's just disappeared.
I am having a hard time finding a complain dept at Amazon to write to it about it. After the holidays I will contact Taylor.
Customer Review: Expected more from Taylor
Summary: 1 Stars
When I purchased this thermometer, I checked the calibration with boiling water, and found it to be spot on. But the first time I washed it in normal soapy water (no dishwasher; no abrasives) the ink legend came right off. Now I have an accurate thermometer, but I have no idea what it is telling me. I purchased the Taylor brand expecting their commercial quality. But this is more of a dollar store product. Stay away, and save your money.
