candy thermometer
Confectioner's temperature tool
A candy thermometer measures high temperatures for cooking sugar.
Sugar passes through distinct stages as it heats—soft ball, hard ball, soft crack, hard crack—each requiring precise temperatures for different confections.
The thermometer clips to the pot's side and stays submerged during cooking: Check the candy thermometer before you pour the caramel.
