Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Cave Tools Instant Read Digital Thermometer: Perfect for Cooking, BBQ Grilling, Candy Making, Meat, Baking, and More - Stainless Steel Casing, Long Food Probe & LCD Display by Tammy Miller

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good meat thermometer. Just right for sweets.

This is a decent meat thermometer. Seems to be accurate to within a few degrees in the meat cooking range. More than 3 degrees Fahrenheit lower in boiling water after recalibration. Probably even less precise at higher temperatures, but difficult to detect. I wanted this for making caramelized sugar. The scope of delivery does not include a clamp for fastening inside the pot - a serious disadvantage of a thermometer advertised for preparing candies. Luckily I bought some digital thermometer clips for brewing use. Although I doubt the accuracy of this thermometer at higher temperatures, it has proven itself. This isn't the first digital thermometer I've ordered from Revain for this purpose. The first was terrible. I assume this one is as good as they get. I would just buy an old fashioned candy thermometer but reviews show they are all cheaply made now too.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Plug required
