HERMOMETER
INSTRUCTIONS
This thermometer is designed to help you make superior candy,
jelly, and fried foods. The body and attachment clip are made
of stainless steel for safety and durability. The bottom of this
thermometer's glass column is also enclosed in stainless steel
to prevent it from touching hot surfaces that might cause
inaccurate readings.
A.Candy:
Candy making requires precise temperature control for
best results. Syrup temperature does not increase at an
even rate as water does when it is heated. Syrup will
"pause" at certain temperatures as it heats. Thus, it is
important to observe the temperature at all times when
heating candy syrup.
B. Deep Frying:
For best results:
1. Make sure that the oil is at the correct temperature
before adding food. NOTE: Add food carefully to avoid
splattering hot oil.
2. Make sure that enough oil is used. When food is
added, it will lower the temperature of the oil. Smaller
quantities of oil will cool more quickly than larger
quantities of oil. Oil at too low of a temperature will be
absorbed into the food, making it soggy.
3. Add food at room temperature if possible. Cold food
will lower the oil temperature more than food at room
temperature.
4. When cooking in batches make sure that the oil has a
chance to return to the correct temperature before
adding more food.
Important: Water boils at 212°F at sea level. At high elevations
water will boil at lower temperatures. To compensate, note the
temperature at which water boils and subtract that amount
from the recipe temperature. For example: if water boils at
206°F, subtract 6 degrees from the intended temperature, to
determine the adjusted temperature.
Caution: This thermometer has a glass column. Let it cool
while either clipped to the pot or place it on a dry cloth.
DO NOT set a hot thermometer on a cold or wet surface.
Thoroughly clean the thermometer after it has cooled.
