This Taylor digital instant read thermometer is perfect for making candy or deep frying foods! It is programmable to a single temperature and the display blinks green when the target temperature is reached. This ensures that key temperatures are tracked accurately for perfect results! The stem is extra-long at 9 inches to fit in deep pots and pans and has a blunt tip so it won’t scratch the surface. The pan clip has been reengineered to securely stay in place on the pan's edge —even during stirring! The oversized 0.75 inch display is backlight which makes it easy to read. The display is angled back at the perfect viewing position to avoid heat and steam. This thermometer is even great for yogurt, maple syrup and any crafts that require precise temperature monitoring.
