King KookerSI5 5-Inch Deep Fry Thermometer

It works like a charm. I put it into the chicken or the steak or whatever I’m cooking it quickly gives me a good reading of the temperature inside. It works great. Love it.

Works perfectly. I never overcook my deep fried food.

I bought this King Kooker thermometer earlier this year to check the temperature of oil while frying.Today I was heating oil to fry schnitzel. I had the thermometer positioned properly with the tip in the oil. The dial read 330°. I started frying the meat and immediately knew something was wrong because the breading started to char almost immediately. After removing the burnt meat the temperature on the dial dropped to 250° and stayed there. Fortunately my wife suggested checking the oil temp with my Kizen meat thermometer. The Kizen thermometer reading was 425°. Please bear in mind that we’ve only used this thermometer two times prior to today. I am so grateful we didn’t have a grease fire. Do not purchase this thermometer.

Wouldn't recommend return window isn't long enough after couple of uses stops working properly

Used 3 or 4 times now... no problems, thus far... however, it does seem to be made on a low budget... but I guess you get what you pay for in this case. Not bad, just a bit cheap feeling. Also, deep frying at 350-400 degrees F is common and shouldn't be a "fire hazard" as labeled on this device... which I assume is overly cautious labeling for legal protection. Now over 400 degree F may start getting dangerous. Always have a couple of good fire extinguishers handy when deep frying at any temperature.

Si quieres q los bunute queden bien y no se revienten o queden crudos x dentro, necesitas uno de estos!!! El aceite debe estar en 380 para empezar a freir

No more guessing when the oil's hot enough. Always know when it's perfect now! Love using this thermometer when deep frying - it helps me get the oil to the perfect temperature. No more wasting time guessing or over/undercooking foods. The only issue I have is that I often fry in a mid-size pan so when I lower the holder it becomes top heavy and is easily moved should something touch it so I often have to avoid touching it with food/tong. But, can't really knock a star off just for that since it serves it's purpose. Wish I had bought one earlier!

It works. As other reviewers mentioned, you need to have at least an 1.5 - 2 inches in the oil to get a good reading, any less and it is off sometimes by 50°. The fact that it is only 5 inches long is it's only shortcoming. It does say that it is 5 inches in the description, so I can't fault it for that but it isn't really made well for actual "deep frying."

Perfect for deep frying temperature control, no more soggy or burnt chips.

The thermometer works great with our Amazon pot on our induction stove. The clip is sturdy and stays in place well. I recommend this product.

Only issue is as a candy thermometer, scale is too tight to read but for deep frying, as intended, works great..

Nice and easy to read, accurate
