A serious tool for the serious chef, the ProAccurate Candy and All-Purpose Thermometer is not just for candy but for any type of high temperature cooking. It has a temperature range of 32 to 375 degrees F/0 to 200 degrees C.

To use as a candy thermometer, scroll to one of seven preprogrammed candy cooking stages. Attach the thermometer to your pan with the enclosed stainless steel clip. Accurate to within 2 degrees of programmed temperature, the Quick Tip feature will give you a rapid response -- an alarm sequence -- to let you know when you have reached candy temperature range. As an all-purpose thermometer, simply scroll to TEMP. There is no alarm when used as an all-purpose thermometer.

The large LCD display is encased in the handle. When not in use, the thermometer should live in the protective sheath that is included. The candy and all-purpose thermometer uses one AAA battery, which is also included.
