here is the type you are looking for
Any quick read thermometer you can buy in the cooking section of the store will work for oil.
Candy thermometer that you stick directly into the oil.
Rachel Ray uses a wooden spoon. When the oil bubbles around it, it means that it is hot enough. Good luck
A rectal thermometer, preferablly unused.
An oven thermometer available at Wal-Mart etc.
