I just bought a Pyrex Deep Fry Candy Thermometer. It has a lifetime
warranty and I actually put the information in the drawer. You may
want to save this information for future use.

"Lifetime warranty

items that break during normal household use. If you have a problem
and request a replacement under the terms of the warranty, send the
product to:
