Pyrex candy and deep-fry thermometer displays up to 400 degrees F
Made of commercial-quality stainless steel, this Pyrex Accessories Professional series candy and deep-fry thermometer measures temperatures up to 400 degrees F. The dial has large, easy-to-read numbers in 50-degree increments from 150 to 400 degrees. A good-size clip on the side enables you to attach it to your pan. The white storage case has a temperature guide printed on the side in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, and doubles as a thermometer holder to protect your hands from the heat. Not intended for oven use. Hand wash. --Doree Armstrong

Awful!: 
This thermometer sat well on the side of the pan but doesn't work as the function its meant for. I just did a boiling water test. After 5 mins sitting in the boiling water, not touching the sides or bottom, the temp sat around 175* while the other 3 thermometers I was testing were at 200* to 210*. Now its in the trash.
Dangerous:
I attempted to use this thermometer to carefully monitor the temperature of a pot of shortening for frying doughnuts. By the time the reading indicated 250°F, the oil was severely smoking. Fortunately, I aborted heating any further to curtail the possibility of a loss of human life in this preparation. Using another thermometer (thank you Taylor), I discovered that the pyrex was incorrect by more than 150°F. Seems exceptionally poor in qualitiy but exceptionally profound in functional negligence.more info
A cup of cold water more precise...:
I purchased the Robinson Pyrex Candy Thermometer as a replacement for my old, cheap tube thermometer that was giving off readings.

Additionally, the design of the thermometer makes it difficult to read exactly where your temperature is. This makes it unsuitable for most candy-making where the difference of a degree or so could be critical.

Bad Candy Thermometer:
The only positive thing I can say about this candy thermometer is that the design allows it to stay on the sauce pan relatively well. Other than that, it is difficult to discern temperatures between the 0 - 50 marks. Also, it tends to read low so that the candy is much warmer than the read out indicates. Since using this thermometer, I have ruined more batches of fudge than I care to think about. If you want a good candy thermometer, don't buy this one.
