Will this work with hot fudge? Will it go through the pump readily or is it too thick?

I myself have not used it for hot fudge. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work. The straw for the pump, as well as the dispenser, has quite a good size opening, and as long as you use really hot water in the unit (which goes in a reservoir under the pot that holds your hot fudge), I think you should be ok.

No, this is really suited for butter or chocolate or caramel syrups. Cheese and fudge are too thick and wi clog in the spout. Advise buying a heated spout.

We don't like it. It is very hard to pump the hot fudge if it sits unused for few minutes. The fudge gets warm or cold in the outside part of the pump and you have to pump it out first (about 3 times and it is hard labor) before you start getting hot fudge.

I would think that's too thick and you wouldn't have even control but never tried it. Not sure I'd want to clean up after either. I'd do fudge/chocolate in a pan and drizzle from a spoon or fork depending on desired effect.

Hot Fudge will be to thick. It is really made for product with a thinner consistency. I hope this helps.Jackie

if the thickness is same or comparable to hand soap (like softsoap brand) there should be no problem.i found that if you use watery soap (that is used in foaming hand soap) the dispenser does not work.

That's a good question. These pumps are designed for use with high temp liquids. Chugger may make a pump to handle what you want but you would be better off contacting them directly.Chugger Pumps, 5044 Industrial Road, Suite CFarmingdale, NJ 07727Phone: (866) 921-1340 Email: shop@chuggerpumps.com

I've only used it in a Dial hand soap pump. You can always add water to it to change the viscosity of it for foam type dispensers.

No. This is a centrifugal pump and must be primed with the liquid. Thicker liquids would only swirl around in the pump, if you could even get them to flow into it. Sauce and ketchup need something self priming and positive displacement.

The intake has a screen to keep out debris larger then a pea. someting thick will require a discharge hose larger than a 1/2" garden hose. Not sure how 'thick' your muck is but if it 'pours' like heavy cream the pump will probably take it. if the muck is thick as pudding or a milk shake it won't pump it. you could take a garden hose and mix water at the intake with the muck as you pump....

Yes! I use it for overflow on hot dogs, brats, chicken, etc. Good for food items that cooked quicker than others. It keeps them warm while the remainder finish.

It didn't work for me at all with fudge or carmels. I got different readings, wildly different, depending on where I aimed it. It will not work at all as a candy thermometer, which is what I wanted it for.

You can mix it with water or milk. Mixing it with milk will make it thicker. But other than that no issues.

You can try it, but my guess is that it will jam up the pump pretty quick. I would suggest that you try it w/ the filter in there first to see how it goes.

This cream is extremely thick! It will NOT pour out of the box like you may be thinking. It has a great mild flavor though.

If the filling is very thick, then probably not. If the filling cools quickly or you have to work slowly with it, no. I used it with cupcake batter that wasn't very thick and it took a while for the batter to come out the bottom. Hope this helps.

I get the fizz, but need to give it extra pumps and increase the amount. It works fine if I do that.

I just purchased this 2 weeks ago. However, I use it with an egg wash which is quite viscous. I know that you can use it for chocolate as long as it's not too thick. I would imagine that icing would be a little too thick for this sprayer. Hope this helps.

Pretty much. The thermometer is over a foot long, so as long as you have at least an inch of fluid, this will work. The slider clip goes along the full metal length, so you can clip it onto anything less than a half inch thick or so. I've often used it in my KitchenAid bowl and it works perfectly when pasteurizing egg whites for meringues.

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

Ed--we've only used the standard in ours so far. I think it can take thicker, but I do not have any to test that question. It's a great dispenser. Solved a lot of the problems we've had.
