- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2024Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseGreat quality product. Delivered in perfect condition and works great.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseI bought this years ago, so here’s my delayed review with the test of time- it’s still going strong. I love this brand for smaller kitchen tools, and this thermometer proves they earn that reputation. Easy and clear to read, easy to clean by hand, gets a read on temperature quickly and accurately. If I had to buy another candy thermometer, I’d buy this one again. But this one is so good, I don’t think I’ll ever need to. Great investment. Not likely to break because of the solid design. And easy to fit on most pots.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseI really like this thermometer. Well designed, easy to read and the clip to attach it to the pot works well and is adjustable. It is a little bigger that I expected, but that's ok.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseBought to track oil temp for deep frying has a clip to hold to the side of the pot. Loop at the top to easily grab it and a metal housing protecting the glass thermometer.
Has markings for the candy stages if I ever want to make hard candies or fudge.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseI'm a big Oxo fan, but this one misses the mark for me. The thermometer itself is durable and well constructed, but it's very top heavy and the clip on the back is pretty bad for smaller pots. In my experience the gromets are sustainable to rusting if you don't wash it right away (yes, I try to wash it immediately, but sometimes things sit in the sink a bit longer than we'd like!).
The best feature in my opinion is that the glass bottom is well protected, which has been the issue with other brands I've used - nobody wants broken glass in your candy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!
Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseI have been wanting to get one of these for quite some time but just never did. I finally decided to bite the bullet and get one when I was planning some Christmas baking and I am so glad I did! It's very sturdy and accurate and was extremely helpful in getting my sugar up to the perfect temperature. Would definitely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fudge
Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseJust got this to replace my old one as I was tired of having to add 12 degrees F each time. Very sturdy, easy to read and accurate. I made a double batch fudge that turned out so good I made another batch of Drambuie fudge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broken on arrival
Style: ThermometerVerified PurchaseThermometer already had separated when it arrived. Couldn't return it to Amazon, and it's difficult trying to get any replacement/refund from Oxo. Avoid or, or get it somewhere else.
