Summary: Marking wiped off after handwashing
Comment: I agree with other reviewers that the clip is very functional and the thermometer is accurate. However, even with only going to hard-ball stage, never deep-frying, and never washing in a dishwasher, the marking has smudged off. Even when completely cool and dry, you can take your finger and rub off the words and the all important scale, both large and small tick marks.
Another reviewer mentioned that he or she continues to use it despite this fact, but I am not sure how. When the steam and bubbling sugar of of stove-cooked confections begins to take off, I cannot see the faint remnants of the marks. Also, the surface of the scale marking is smooth, so it's not like you can just count blind embossed or debossed markings. There really is nothing left to see.
I am not happy with a such a critical flaw in a kitchen tool.
