Product Description

Equipped with 14 pre-programmed settings, this digital Maverick thermometer helps you achieve ideal results for both candy confections and fried treats. Plus, the simple operation means that you no longer have to stand by the stove and make estimates. In addition to helping get candy textures just right, the thermometer ensures that fried food cooks for the minimum time, so results are more crispy and less fatty.

Sturdily built with a stainless-steel splatter/heat shield, the thermometer features a 10-1/2-inch pivoting probe and a large LCD monitor. Simple icons guide pre-set use, while a handy temperature guide on the back helps out with measurements. Readings can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, and when the ideal temperature is reached, the monitor beeps and flashes. The unit comes with a sturdy clip for the side of the pot and wipes up clean with a damp cloth. Maverick also includes automatic shut-off and a low-battery indicator. The unit runs on a AAA battery, which is included. --Emily Bedard

Best I've ever used

Review Date: January 4, 2007

Reviewer: George Seymour III, New Orleans, Louisiana United States

As a professional chef, I get the opportunity to use a lot of cooking equipment. Most of the time I am somewhat disappointed with the limitations of certain items, especially digital thermometers. Usually they have too narrow a range, or only give numerical temperature or candy type. The Maverick, however, gives the user a lot of options for a great price. The extra long stem allows use in many types of vessels, the temperature can be read in either candy type or numeric (making the thermometer useful for frying also), and the heat shield protects the display from steam and splashes. Of course, there is the ability to switch between fahrenheit and celsius, and an overheat alarm that sounds when the oil is getting too hot. As you can see, this thermometer has a lot of extras that you don't often find in other products (at least not for this price). I certainly recommend it, as it is the best candy thermometer that I have ever used.

Must have for candy making!

This is the ultimate candy/frying thermometer. Simple to use. Has a clasp that hooks it on to the pan/pot you are using it with. Digital display is very easy to set and there's a little metal shield to protect the display from steam/food. Set the type of candymaking/frying you are doing and it will beep when the desired temp is reached. Of course, this can't be put in the dishwasher, just wipe clean with a kitchen towel. Great buy!

Great Product

I had been looking for a digital candy thermometer for a long time. I finally decided to break down and pay for a good one and I am glad I did. It has helped me make all of my special holiday candy (peanut brittle, toffee and fudge) I will be using it to make caramels soon.

I was making fudge when my thermometer broke. I bought and tried one of those paddle types. It was not accurate enough for fudge and it was very hard to clean. For fudge I clean my thermometer before putting it back in the syrup while it is cooling, very difficult with the other one. The Maverick was VERY accurate - loved that it beeps when it reaches the correct temperature - no more jumping up and down checking the thermometer. Perfrct fudge every time. Love it.

I have used this Digital Thermometer to fry various fresh and frozen food items. After I select the display option, I like that this thermometer beeps every time the oil goes back up to the "set" temperature.
