A reliable mechanical cooking thermometer designed for precise temperature control and fast, battery readings. The long probe and adjustable clip keep the probe suspended in the cooking liquid and away from the pot bottom for more accurate measurements. Key benefits Immediate readings without batteries: mechanical operation delivers instant temperature feedback so you do not need to rely on power or wait for electronics to boot. More accurate measurements: long probe design and adjustable clip hold the probe off the pot base to avoid false readings from direct contact with hot metal. Fast, stable sensing: temperature range 20 to 280 C with quick response and a stable numerical display for consistent monitoring during cooking. Features and performance Function: analog/mechanical temperature measurement for cooking applications. Probe and mounting: long probe for deeper immersion and an adjustable clip to secure the thermometer to pot rims and prevent contact with the bottom. Range and response: covers common cooking temperatures from 20 to 280 C with speed sensing for timely adjustments. Power: purely mechanical operation, no batteries required. Practical uses Candy making and sugar work: monitor boiling sugar as it approaches soft ball, firm ball, and caramel stages to get reliable textures. Deep frying and oil frying: keep frying oil in the correct range for crisp, evenly cooked results without overheating. Sauces, syrups, and jam: maintain precise temperatures during reduction and sugarbased preserves. Why choose this thermometer Solves common temperature problems by preventing probe contact with the pot bottom and delivering immediate, readable results. Simple to use and maintain thanks to its mechanical design and adjustable clip. Suitable for a variety of kitchen tasks that require reliable temperature control. What to expect in use Attach the clip to the pot rim, immerse the probe so it sits in the liquid but not against the bottom, and read the temperature directly from the display. The device is built to provide fast, repeatable measurements within its 20 to 280 C range.
