could that use as candy thermometer

Hi Monica, yes the thermometer can be used for candy temp measurement. but just make sure you don;t leave the whole thermometer in a high temp environment. The stem cell is heat resistant but not the the cover(plastic) part. Hope this helps, Many blessings, BlizeTec

Hi Monica, no you cannot use it as a candy thermometer. A candy thermometer is made up of specialized elements that can withstand continuous immersion in a boiling substance. This digital thermometer is excellent for skillet cooking, oven & grilling. Hope my reply was helpful. Thanks.

Don't see why not. The temperature range is -58 to +572F or -50 to +300C. The only caveat is that there is no clip for attaching it your pot. But, it is instant read. So, if you are OK with dipping it in to read the temperature and then removing it, you should be good.

It's a little tricky .. can't leave it in, so you'd have to wait for the water to boil off. And at that point, a minor difference in time might mean miscalculation about the point of hard crack. Would rather recommend a cold water test or a Candy thermometer.

You are not supposed to leave this thermometer over a hot pot where it's subjected to steam or high temps, so even if there was a way to attach it to a pot it wouldn't be a good candy thermometer.

The specifications indicate a maximum temperature of 450 ....so it would depend upon how got your oil/candy needs to be. Temps above 450 might damage the thermometer. This is an excellent instant thermometer for everyday use ...meat, fish, casseroles and reheating. I love it.

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

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

The answer is NO. This is to be used to observe or read temperature in short term where the dial (working parts) are NOT exposed to DIRECT HEAT as in the internal temp of chicken, candy or other like cases as in checking the internal temp of grilled beef, pork etc.

If you want to idea thermos + thermometer, that works. BUT use a regular thermometer - candy thermometers do not go as low as 100 degrees Fahrenheit I think, and you actually start the whole yogurt culturing process at 100-115. I used thermos +thermometer for many years but quantity was lower and it sometimes didn't work. That's why I prefer the dash. Good luck.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. Just embed the temperature sensor (it's not really a "probe") deep inside the bread. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

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.

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.

No, there are specialized products for those. Look for an immersion thermometer from companies that specialize candy and deep frier equipment.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

A glass candy thermometer is what I had so I used this for my first batch of yogurt and it turned out well. Discovered that I had another thermometer - the metal probe type so I decided to use this along with my candy thermometer and noted that it was measuring the milk temperature lower than the strobe type, this is despite calibrating both thermometers in a glass of iced water. The candy thermometer had a reading of 180 degrees and the strobe thermometer read 200 degrees - sure the milk was frothing but not yet boiling. Anyway, I have used the candy thermometer for many of my batches and it has not failed me so far!

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.
892727
yes you can, just wait a few seconds for the most accurate reading....i have used it for the liquid portion of bread already and it is very accurate. Just be sure when checking temperature, that the tip does not touch the pot or the container. because that will give you an inaccurate reading.

I use this for making candy, roasting meats in the oven, checking the internal temp of fried foods. Mine is perfectly accurate, way better than a traditional candy thermometer. I also have an instant read IR thermometer. Both thermometers are within 2 degrees of each other, which is more than acceptable for my use.

I think so. This device feels well put together and my 10 year old measures food temps in the fridge and freezer well. Also good for measuring oven temps. Not sure what other uses you have in mind.
