Making homemade candy doesn't have to be difficult. The Maverick Heavy Duty Candy/Deep Fry Thermometer helps you keep your candy mixture at the perfect temperature. The large, easy-to-read dial allows you to take temperature readings at a safe distance, and the dial is pre-marked with different candy temperatures to help you stay within recipe guidelines. Extra-long, this thermometer is ideal for larger deep fry pots. The thermometer features stainless steel construction with a cool-touch handle and clips right onto the cooking/fry pot. Rinse with warm, soapy water to clean or put in the dishwasher.
