Can this be used for candy-making or deep-frying (e.g. donuts)?

I don't think there would be any problem with using the solid probe (which is about 7" long) in a high temp. The system registers up to 480 degrees.

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

The package indicates that the thermometer is good for meats and fish. I have not used it for other candy making or oil. There is no indication on the wrapper that this would be one of the uses.

Yes, if you wanted to. It can be used for many things. I sometimes will use peanut oil, my oil of choice for frying, and then deep fry some chicken in it. The height is great for splatter control, and pressure cooking the chicken reduces the cooking time.

Yes you can fry donuts with this one. I haven't tried to fry donuts in mine, but I think it will be easy to do.

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question

I would say no, designed for water, broths etc. would be very careful using oil in it, rubber O-rings. Look for a deep fryer..

It seems to work well for pan frying but I do not know about deep frying. It has become my favorite pan for most everything.

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

Don't see why you couldn't, I'm merely saying that they were originally designed for candy mixes. There are a bunch of stevia flavoring extracts you can buy that will provide 80-120 uses. These small drams will probably proved 25-35 uses.

I have never used my thermometer for deep frying because I do not deep fry food, but if I did I would have full confidence in the performance of it. The instructions that came with it give no caution warnings as to using it for deep frying, so I would guess that it is safe to use for deep frying. I can not see any way that it could get damaged by using it for your intended purpose.

i would not use if for a deep fryer. The digital part is plastic and it would melt if attached to fryer or if left near heat source. It is used for checking meat temps. Package says not to use in oven or grill.

I'm not sure about that. I don't cook or make candy like that. We only use them to soak tooth picks and things in.

Yes it can be used just like any other deep fryer but its best to not use any flour in this unit. Mine's burnt out trying to cook chicken wing's

I haven't but don't think I would try it. I would get a deep fry/candy thermometer to be safe. Neil
