Brewers Edge Thermometers Work Well
I have two of these thermometers that I use to heat up water for mashing and for cooling the wort. They are dependable and accurate. I would recommend them to any novice brewer.
Didn't last as long as I hoped
Like the previous reviewer, I experienced inaccurate readings after only 5 batches though I did use it inside last thanksgiving's turkey. According to this thermometer, water now boils at 235 degrees and everything else measures about 20 hotter than what it should. The previous reviewer said his had the same issue and he used it for baking bread. Perhaps higher than boiling temps (ovens, etc) will cause this. Regardless, for a few bucks more why not go digital and get precise and easy to read measurements? Also, water seemed to have gotten behind the glass. Not bad as an entry level but if you're looking to replace, go digital.
A good product
I respectfully suggest to the previous poster that he recalibrate his thermometer using the nut behind the dial housing. This type of instrument simply does not fail to the tune of 30°F (unless it is visibly broken). This is an excellent, cheap product that does the job of fancier thermometers 3x the price, and I have just ordered a new one. My only criticism is its fragility; a rubber cushion around the perimeter of the dial housing would help protect the glass when the thermometer is dropped onto a concrete floor (frequently in my case).
good basic thermometer
Pros: pretty accurate temp readings. probe is sufficient length. red indicator is helpful for remembering and controlling steeping temp.
Cons: clip does not keep probe from resting against the side of my boiling pot.
It's ok
Pros: It gave an accurate temp, but wife took it over to use for her candy. I ended up buy the self calibrating one from William's. If they still sold that one I would HIGHLY recommend it!!
Cons: It just doesn't compare to the self calibrating.
