Taylor Connoisseur Digital Candy / Deep Fry Thermometer - 519

Unbelievably, this thing melted around the third time I used it. It was sort of unstable anyway, so I was holding it in place to read the temp. And then the top sort of flopped over and the wire pulled out of the metal probe part. I had to abort the candy, and when I looked at it, the underside had melted! Sort of defeats the purpose of a product designed to be over high heat.
