Know before you buy
The thermometer measures temperatures from 100°F to 400°F, covering the standard requirements for both deep frying and sugar work.
While it is designed for high-heat liquid applications like oil and sugar, it is not recommended for meat. The long stem is intended for deep pots, and the analog scale is calibrated for the higher temperature ranges needed for frying and candy making.
It is water-resistant, allowing you to wash it by hand safely. However, it should not be submerged in a dishwasher or left soaking in water for extended periods.
No, this is a purely analog device. It operates without batteries or power sources, making it a reliable, low-maintenance tool for your kitchen.
The thermometer features a built-in clip that allows you to attach it securely to the side of your pot, keeping the stem submerged in the liquid while keeping the display visible and stable.
