Do you think this can be used as a candle thermometer?

Yes I think it can be used as a candle thermometer. It has the range of temperatures you would need. And it can be used in short or tall molds.

Yes. I use it to measure infant bath water, and cooking temp on oil and broth. Remember the pool temp is going to vary depending on the depth of the water.

You can if you have a way to secure it, but it only registers up to 500, so it may get damaged. The thermometer on my grill goes to 800.

I've found this usefull for measuring the temperature on just about anything, but if you try to get body temperature, the problem is it gives you the surface temp, not internal temp....it will read low, like 93 or 94 deg. Shoot your tonsils and it will be higher, but not trustworthy enough to replace the normal thermometer. I love this thermometer for everything else and my battery has lasted a year so far, another plus.

I wouldn't. I didn't find it to be all that accurate or sturdy. If you are making candy, get a candy thermometer otherwise I recommend one of the instant insertion thermometers bakers use.

I'm not sure. Never tried. This is a meat thermometer. I wonder if perhaps a candy thermometer would work better since it more for liquids.

I don't see why not, just make sure you use a tealight and trim the wick... i didn't have tealights when i first got it and tried to use a small candle and it just made the pot all sooty and went out.

Dear JK,The mirrors and not sold by us for that purpose and we believe they may not be strong enough to support such a project. Having said that though, this is the first time we have been asked this question, it is up to you if you would like to experiment, it is possible it can work for you. We do not suggest or recommend this on our website. Please let us know if you have further questions.Candles 4 Less 877.766.5328

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.

It registers pretty quickly, so I think you could use it as an instant thermometer.

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

Yes. Only problem is that you must use it in the exact angle or it won't read the correct temperature.

Nope. It's not intended for that use. Just check the internal temperature about half-hour before end of recommended cook time then you'll know how to gauge it.

It would depend on the size of the candle. These jars are small and most candles would not fit into it.

Have not tried that . Would be very awkward. Holds a charge a long time. The toughest thing I have found is that the thermometer has to to be calibrated for for each type of material that you are testing for the test to be accurate. Hard to know exactly what the material is particularly if it is a blended material product.

Yes, it can. I have been using mine for all spring and summer and it has done fine. Now that it is hot out, I have noticed that it tends to stretch when the thermometer heats up, and this can't be good, so be sure to not stretch it out as you use it. Otherwise, it has worked just fine!

I wouldn't unless you're just using it for candle packaging. A lit candle would melt it. I use mine for baked goods.
