Review on 🌡️ Maverick CT-03 Digital Oil & Candy Thermometer: Accurate Temperature Monitoring for Cooking and Baking by Melody Young

Not good for candy. I make lots of caramel, candy, and other sweets out of boiled sugar. I've been doing this for years. I used an old thermometer which is quite difficult to read. I figured digital reading would be easier for those old eyes. I tested it on my old backup device. Boiling water was right on. Candy syrup at 215F hit the spot. Candy at 220 was a match. Once it hit 225 F, it stopped being accurate. Kept at the same temperature for a long time. When my thermometer read 230 degrees Fahrenheit, Maverick said it was 226 Fahrenheit. I moved the Maverick and it was still 4 degrees Fahrenheit off it. I stirred to ensure even heat distribution. Still 4 degrees Fahrenheit. For candy, 4 degrees Fahrenheit makes a difference. Don't buy this unreliable and useless junk. I gave one star because I had to. When a product fails to do its job, it's a total failure.
