When only the best will do, the top-of-the line Digital Candy thermometer is our recommendation and the one we prefer in our test kitchen.  This well-made thermometer is battery operated and can be programmed to sound an alert when desired temperature is reached - no waiting by the stove required!

Beeps and flashes when the perfect temperature is reached. 

Preset temperatures for 14 kinds of candy and deep fried foods including hard crack, hard ball, soft ball and many more. 

Easy digital readout and simple to use.
