Title: Temporary At Best
Review: My mom and I do a lot of baking at the holidays, and when her old metal candy thermometer broke, she bought one of these to replace it. She ended up buying yet another one when we thought we'd lost the one she had just bought. Both are unusable now, and the oldest one was purchased near the end of 2010, with the other being purchased in 2011. One had a leak where water would get into it (but wouldn't come back out), thus making it useless. On the other one, the bottom broke (though the part containing the mercury was still intact and attached), thus making it useless, also. They're convenient, but they're hard to read and obviously don't last very long. I wouldn't buy another one unless I couldn't find anything better.
