How long is it? Can I attach it to a pot for candy making?

Total length is 8 1/2 inches. It is a barbeque thermometer; I would not use it for candy making.

The thermometer is about 6" long. It does have a clip on the sheath that protects the probe, but the thermometer is not suitable for candy making unless you want to use it as a quick way to check the temperature. It will NOT fasten to the side of the pan like regular candy-making thermometers. Sorry.

Is this bowl thick enough to cook candy in? I have been using a copper jam pot, but I want something rounded.

About 4 1/2" or almost 11 1/2 cm. I suggest using a little cooking spray so it does not stick so much.

Yes, but you probably wouldn't want to. It's for spot checking the temp. Candy making requires you to continuously monitor the temp until you reach a certain point. Candy thermometers can be clipped onto the side of the pan, this one can't

I use this for pots but this is 9 1/4 inches but the lip I believe would not work for a crock pot.

Yes I believe it can be used for that, we have. Some meat thermometers have a way to do it from a distance (ie on a string so you can put it in the oven and keep the door shut) this doesn't. It is also different because it can stand on the pot edge and goes high enough for candy use.

The net pot itself is 6 inches. The Lip fits around the top of a standard 5 gal bucket. Like the ones you'd find at a home depot.

4.5'..it was a good size..but I warn against buying this item. mine was manufactured inside out for some ungodly reason.. I wasn't satisfied.. when I set it up for my Halloween Freakshow themed decoration prop. Failed experiment. I'd look for one of those large cardboard castles if this is for children.

I own a gingerbread house company and we use this in our kits. One bag makes about 1 and 1/2 cups. You will need more . I would say at least two or three. It depends on how much candy your going to put on them . One bag will definately not be enough to glue and decorate.

Agreed. About 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Supposedly you can use them for brownie cutouts, but I have yet to try that. I bought these for my custom cakes, but like Tricia said, they were just too big for what I needed. Good luck!

If you're trying to get glass hot enough to pour into a mold or something.....not so sure this is for that kind of project. Also the pot is kind of small for it's 'weight capacity'....dealing with lead you know?

About 3". This unit is small and flimsy. I bought it for chocolate and for a backup for my fondue parties. It definitely is unsuitable for fondue and I have found my electric fondue pot much more suited for chocolate. Don't waste your money on this unit.

I would not use if for candy..Amazon has several candy specific thermometers for 8-10 bucks. Good Luck!

I used mine for the first time for mini cupcakes, 1-1/2" high with a small candy cane topper on the top of the icing, but it holds a regular sized cupcake as well which, (including icing and even a small topper) is usually 2-2/2 inches high with a little room to spare. Definitely without a candy or icing flower for instance you would have plenty of room to spare. I hope this helps.

It should work for candy as long as you're not planning on leaving the thermometer in the oven or leaning against the side of a hot pot on the stove. The housing is plastic so it will melt if it gets too hot. I'm not really sure how candy is cooked so I can't say for sure. This thermometer is designed for quick temperature checks during preparation. I use it to check the internal temp. of grilled and broiled meats mainly.

I suppose you could if you were just spot checking the candy but this thermometer is meant for quick reads of meats. I would probably look for a thermometer that could clip to the side of my pot for a constant temperature reading

Hi Holly, The inner diameter of this tube is 14mm, so whether or not it will hold mentos will depend on the size of the candy. Thanks, Customer Service
