Although a thermometer CAN be used its presence affects the temperature.
A thermometer is typically used to measure the boiling point of a substance. It can accurately measure the temperature at which a liquid changes state from a liquid to a gas during the boiling process.
You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
The scale is either Fahrenheit degrees or centigrade (Celsius, Kelvin) degrees. The Fahrenheit scale has 180 equal degrees between the freezing point of water (32°F) and the boiling point (212°F). On the Celsius scale, there are 100 equal degrees between these points (0°C to 100°C).
A thermometer that can read up to about 110 °C and down to about 60 °C should cover all boiling points of water that you are likely to encounter in a laboratory. Realistically, you probably wouldn't need any wider range than 80 °C to 105 °C.
Rubbing alcohol is used in thermometers because it has a lower freezing point than water, allowing the thermometer to measure lower temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol has a wider temperature range than mercury, making it suitable for various types of thermometers.

Yes, a thermometer can record the temperature of a boiling pot. By placing the thermometer in the liquid or steam coming from the pot, it can measure the temperature accurately. Be sure to use a thermometer that is designed to measure high temperatures.
The range of an alcohol thermometer typically falls between -115°C to 78°C (-175°F to 172°F). Alcohol thermometers are often used for applications where a mercury thermometer is not suitable, such as food industry and medical settings.

Boiling is way far outside its operating range.
The scale is either Fahrenheit degrees or centigrade (Celsius, Kelvin) degrees. The Fahrenheit scale has 180 equal degrees between the freezing point of water (32°F) and the boiling point (212°F). On the Celsius scale, there are 100 equal degrees between these points (0°C to 100°C).
The most suitable thermometer for measuring the boiling point of water is a mercury thermometer or a digital thermometer with a high temperature range. These thermometers are able to accurately measure the high temperature of boiling water without being damaged. It is important to ensure that the thermometer is calibrated and accurate for precise measurements.
You can use a digital or analog thermometer to measure the temperature of ice, but it's best to use a thermometer that can measure low temperatures accurately. A thermometer that measures from -50°C to 50°C would be suitable for measuring the temperature of ice.
A thermometer that can read up to about 110 °C and down to about 60 °C should cover all boiling points of water that you are likely to encounter in a laboratory. Realistically, you probably wouldn't need any wider range than 80 °C to 105 °C.

A Fahrenheit thermometer measures temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, which is a scale commonly used in the United States. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
