Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Got this one for canning, but I've expanded to using it for pasteurizing egg whites for buttercream as well. The thermometer has a sliding clip on the back so you just stick it on the pot, slide it to the height you want and you're good to go. The thermometer bulb is suspended a couple mm from the bottom of the metal plate, so you can push it against the bottom of the pan and not worry about blowing the bulb with direct heat. It also has handy markings which tick off the various candy states if that's what you want it for. Cleaning is a breeze since I just toss it in the dishwasher.
