xCDN TCG400: A reliable thermometer for candy and fry mastery
Turn out perfect candies, jellies, and sugary confections with CDN TCG400, a 12-inch thermometer built for stove-top use. Its stainless-steel body houses a durable laboratory glass column, delivering a clear read in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. Designed for everyday kitchen tasks, it combines sturdy construction with precise readings to support your creative projects without guesswork.
The device uses a non-mercuric column and includes color-coded markers that map to classic candy stages—thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack, and caramel. This visual guide helps you time batches calmly, even as your recipe evolves. The dual-scale display makes it easy to cross-check temperatures while you stir, rest, or set batches aside for cooling.
The adjustable kettle clip grips pans of various sizes, while the stainless-steel clip stays securely in place. The plastic handle remains cool to touch, improving comfort during long candy sessions or when you monitor hot oil. A protective bottom shield cushions the glass bulb against minor bumps and spills, helping to protect your investment in busy kitchen environments.
