A thermometer is an essential part of any kitchen, and this Taylor 5978N 8" candy / deep fry thermometer is no exception! Featuring a traditional design with an 8" glass tube, this thermometer can be easily attached to whatever pan you're cooking in to keep your hands free while you monitor temperatures of liquid candy or frying oil. This is essential when using an outdoor fryer and helps to minimize the risk of splatter burns from hot oil. The pan clip is adjustable allowing you to accommodate a variety of pans with this thermometer. This thermometer's clear glass display is easy to read with black gradient markings for precise temperature readouts from 100 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 50-200 degrees Celsius. The protective storage sleeve has convenient cooking temperatures printed on it for quick reference.
When you are making candy, keeping the hot sugary mixture at the right temperature is essential in order for the end product to turn out properly. Plus, frying oil needs to be hot enough that food doesn't get soggy but you don't want it to get too hot, either, or food will burn. By using a frying/candy thermometer, you can easily keep an eye on your candy or oil temperatures to make sure your food comes out just the way your customers like it!
