Review on Accurate and Versatile 8 Inch Taylor Precision 6084J8 Professional BiTherm Candy/ Deep Fry Thermometer by Gloria Jones

Bought this thermometer for frying in a large pot. It has one major downside: it seems like the sensor needs to be submerged at least 2-3 inches to get an accurate oil temp reading. However, this amount of oil is not required for frying, so the usefulness of this thermometer is limited. You can tilt the pan and stir in the oil to get a quick reading, but that doesn't help much if you want to keep the oil at a constant temperature while you're busy cooking.
