For several years (at home and commercially) I've been using a simple Taylor TempRite digital thermometer. I calibrate it every now and then (maybe monthly) and it works fine. I have had clouding/fogging issues when it gets splashed, but it fades away. I'd like it to be totally waterproof, but it is what it is.

 

As a backup I recently bought an "Acu-Rite" digital thermometer. Not sure if Taylor makes it, but it is pretty much waterproof and has push buttons instead of the slide switches. Only downfall is that it's a wee bit slower on reaching temperature compared to the Taylor I've been using for awhile. But it is much faster than the typical analog-type thermometers most often used.

 

I also believe in using thermometers to ensure consistency as some of our customers are temperature- specific and this is very important when steaming milk for children.

Cool thanks shadow, it seems digital is the way to go. They really need to make a water proof thermometer, one you can chuck under running water for minutes or hours with out the face getting foggy. Thats one of the problems with the tayler analogs im using.
