CDN TCG400 - Candy & Deep Fry Ruler Thermometer

The TCG400 is designed to help you make superior candy, jelly and deep-fried foods. The body and attachment clip are made of stainless steel for safety and durability. The bottom of the glass column is also enclosed in stainless steel to prevent it from touching hot surfaces that might cause inaccurate readings. The durable laboratory glass has non-mercuric column that measures in °F and °C scales. Candy stage temperatures are marked in color codes. The adjustable sliding kettle clip secures thermometer for any size pot. Candy making requires precise temperature control for best results. Unlike water, syrup temperature does not increase in a smooth manner when it is heated — syrup “pauses” at a certain temperature. Because of this, it is important to observe the temperature at all times when heating candy syrup. Deep Fry Tips: Make sure that the oil is at the correct temperature before adding food. CAUTION: Add food carefully to avoid splattering the hot oil. Use enough oil. When food is added, it lowers the temperature of the oil. Small quantities of oil will cool at a faster rate than larger quantities. Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less flavor development and increased oil absorption. Featuring advanced technology, quality construction, easy-to-read displays and user-friendly operations, CDN thermometers are essential tools in any kitchen. CDN covers the thermometer with a five-year limited warranty. Turn out perfect candies, jelly, and caramelized sugar with this stove-top thermometer by CDN. Made of stainless steel with durable laboratory glass, the thermometer precisely measures temperature with a non-mercuric column in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, from 75 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (25 to 200 degrees Celsius). Excellent also at monitoring hot oil for deep frying doughnuts, onion rings, and other foods, the thermometer can be attached firmly to the side of any size fry vat or candy pan with its stainless-steel clip, while the plastic handle stays cool to the touch. Highlighted sections of the thermometer show the best temperatures for different candy stages, specifically thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, and caramel. An exclusive safety shield at the bottom protects the glass bulb from breakage. Measuring 12 inches in length, the thermometer should be allowed to cool before carefully washed by hand, and should never be placed on a cool surface when hot. A five-year warranty covers the thermometer against defects.--Ann Bieri
