CAPPEC Instant Read Digital Cooking Candy Thermometer with Whisk for Chocolate Icing Creamer Yogurt Sauces and Homemade Soup

I gone through two of these and while I love that it keeps the thermometer off the bottom of my pot for an accurate reading (thanks to the whisk feature), they don't last long. My first one just died after about a year. The numbers faded quickly and even with fresh batteries, it wouldn't turn on. I'm on my second one, and this one I have to put a new battery in it just about every time I use it (I use it at least once a month when I make yogurt). Not sure why, but batteries die rapidly in this things. I've tried several different brands of batteries and it doesn't matter, this somehow just drains them quickly. There aren't many devices like this on the market so hopefully they can work the kinks out of this that affects it's durability and dependability because the overall design is great.

Like the German cheese cutter, this is a product I never knew I was missing from my life.Candy-making may be my version of hell. I am that person in the infomercial whisking frantically with one hand and holding a candy thermometer in the other, while simultaneously trying to turn down the burner with my toes. I only dabble in the sugary arts, but I have OCD and absolutely cannot tolerate a sticky sensation anywhere on my skin. Having one less thing to fiddle with goes a long way to smoothing the process for me. It's cleaner, it's more convenient, and it's easier to operate and clean. It's earned a spot in my precious appliance drawer.

I haven't actually used it for my yogurt yet, which is the purpose of purchasing it, but i have used it on meat and hot liquid and it works great! I like that I have a meat/anything thermometer or a whisk all in one. Great idea. I will give it 5 stars if it works well when I use it for my yogurt this week.

I make my own yogurt and found this whisk-thermometer to be really helpful. I whisk the milk anyway and adding the thermometer feature is brilliant! I compared it to the pot yogurt thermometer and I prefer the digital format over the analog yogurt thermometer. When I try making yogurt in the Instant Pot, this version of the thermometer will come in quite handy. To clean it you pull the handle and thermometer probe from the whisk part. You can wipe clean the probe and wash the whisk part as you would any other whisk. I like it a lot.

I bought this for making yogurt and having a whisk on the thermometer should have been convenient. It was very hard to get the whisk off and on of the thermometer probe though and I couldn't effectively clean it with it on. So I started leaving the whisk off and using the thermometer without it, even though I bought that particular thermometer because of the whisk attachment.The thermometer stopped working in less than a year though. Well actually it still worked but it would drain a brand new battery in less than 24 hours if you didn't remove it after every use.

Love that this is a whisk too! Gave 4 stars because the whisk is not that easy to clean at the base. Love the dual purpose and price point.

I'd been using a meat thermometer and found that annoying. You really need to stir the milk to get a good read on the temperature. So, I stirred with a spoon while I tried measuring the temp with the meat thermometer. With this tool I could stir and get an accurate temp with one hand. Much easier to do!

I make yogurt regularly and I absolutely love this product. Instead of having to hold a thermometer in one hand while whisking with another to make sure the milk gets to the proper temp, it's all done with one hand. Very convenient! Easy to slide the whisk away from the thermometer and stick in the dishwasher, while the thermometer itself is easily wiped clean.
