That looks pretty much like the ones my wife uses for candy making,
and I used for funnel cake making. Held up better than the dial
types which went inaccurate after a few sessions of hot oil for
6 to 8 hours straight. Really haven't used one very long for hot
oil, but my wife's had them for several years and she makes candy
as a profession.
