Review on 🌡️ CDN 12-Inch Silver IRL500 Long Stem Fry Thermometer by Eugene Cox

Most bimetal deep grease probes of this type are foreign-made junk. This is my third. Most are made in China; This is made in Vietnam. Sensors of this type tend to drift 10-40 degrees F right out of the box, and if you drop them or drop them in transit, forget it. This watch has all the winding issues that watches had until the introduction of the quartz movement. This one, like many others, has a nut on the top of the meter, just below the dial, which you can turn with pliers to set the temperature. The readings correspond exactly to the temperature of the measured object (I used boiling water). I test all sensors of this type in heated water on a stove. With the probe inserted into the water when the water is boiling when the gauge needle is not at 212F or 100C, use tongs while holding the dial steady to adjust the gauge needle to the boiling point of the water. . This keeps this unit accurate at 212F at least, but be aware that the unit may not accurately reflect the ambient temperature of the room if it is being refrigerated (my house is kept at 76; however, the unit reads 100 room temperature). calibrated to indicate boiling water). on 212) and may not accurately read a frying temperature of 300-375. The USA does not offer a quality device of this kind. You are at risk in all of this whether you spend more or less than the cost of this device. The best solution is to stop relying on those cheap, unreliable bimetallic probes and spend your money on a thermal pen. Probe Mk IV. I won't cover this device here, but a quick search will take you to the right official site. There is no guarantee that this instrument or any similar instrument will be accurate at frying temperature. I will be using my thermal pen to test the accuracy of this device in boiling oil. I will post the results here. Update: I calibrated this device using my ultra accurate and expensive thermocouple device. As expected, not quite 200 degrees. However, within 300 degrees where the actual frying begins. As long as I have an accurate frying probe in the 300-360 range I'm happy. I am satisfied with this device, which my thermocouple tester confirms.
