CDN DTC450 Digital Pre-Programmed & Programmable Candy Thermometer

love this item very handy

Did temperature test in boiling water. Temp set to 212. Warning went off as it should at 209 degrees. Mine does not screech loudly as another reviewer said and it flashes red light as it should. My sauce pan has a lip and the clamp held fast..no movement. Screen did not go black at this temperature (212). Haven't gone higher. Screen is small for those of us with not so good eye sight. I just turn this around so I can see the screen better. I think this works better in a little taller pan. TIP: If the probe slips in the holder just bend in the part underneath where the teeth are that holds the probe. It tightens it right back up. Then push the probe back in to the holder. Now it's nice and tight. Pulling the probe in and out when cooking/cleaning stretches the teeth part. Easy fix!!

Habe mir das Thermometer zum kochen meiner Peanut-Brittles gekauft, das es beim Candy machen auf die exakte Temperatur ankommt. Absolut positiv finde ich den unteren Metallschutz vom Thermometer-Glas, da man beim ruehren auch gerne mal ans Glas anstoesst, und so ein Desaster vermeidet. Die Klemme auf der Rueckseite zum korrekten Einspannen ist leicht verstellbar, und sitzt fest am Topfrand. Die Reinigung ist total easy, einfach unter heissem Wasser abspuelen ... und feddisch :-))

Utilissimo il gancio che permette l'ancoraggio del termometro alla pentola.Misura bene la temperatura ed ha il vantaggio non da poco di avvisarti quando stai per raggiungere la temperatura impostata.

If like me you are partial to cooking your own prawn crackers or spring rolls you will see that they have to be cooked in a deep fryer or a wok. I used to cook mines in the deep-fryer and the oil would get burned each time (had to turn the fryer up to MAX each time). After a few times I had to clean the whole fryer and replace 3.5 ltrs of oil. Not cheap !! This thermometer allows me to deep fry crackers in a wok using only 1+3/4 cup of oil. Regulating the temp as per the thermometer. I can then let the oil cool and store it. The 3.5 ltrs in the deep-fryer meanwhile lasts for ages just doing the odd portion of chips. It also has printed settings for making your own candy - havent tried making that yet. Great service from these guys re delivery and packaging and a great price for a kitchen instrument that has a 5 year guarantee!!
