The Escali Digital Deep Fry and Candy Thermometer is an extremely useful tool for those who enjoy making candy or deep frying foods. This digital candy and deep fry thermometer comes with preset temperatures for the most common candy making and deep frying temperatures and the extra-long 8.27” probe design keeps your hands far away from hot deep fry oil and molten candy. The DHC1 boasts a large display, with large numbers that are easy to read, even in lower light settings and features three different audible temperature alerts to let you know that you are approaching, have reached or passed your target temperature. The included heat/splatter guard protects the main body of the thermometer from heat and splattering oil while the vessel clip allows the thermometer to be attached to a pot for hands free use.
