6-Zone Stainless Steel Candy Thermometer

Measuring 30 cm in total length and 5 cm wide, this stainless steel candy thermometer features a full-scale range of 40°C to 200°C (100°F to 400°F), segmented into six functional temperature zones: frying, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, and hard crack. The food-grade stainless steel construction ensures durability and resistance to thermal shock, acid, and sugar crystallisation. An insulated handle protects hands from ambient heat, while the spring-loaded, adjustable pot clip offers stable attachment to cookware rims up to 3 cm thick. It delivers repeatable readings essential for British confectionery standards — such as fudge setting at 116°C or toffee at 150°C — and supports broader applications including oil temperature control for fish and chips, jam gel point testing, and controlled yogurt incubation. Its minimalist, modern design prioritises function over ornamentation, fitting seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary UK kitchens. No batteries or electronics — purely mechanical, direct-read accuracy built for daily reliability without calibration drift or sensor failure.
