sugar thermometer
Syrup temperature monitor
A sugar thermometer measures the temperature of boiling sugar syrups, essential for candy making and confectionery.
Different temperatures produce different results—soft ball, hard crack, caramel—so precision matters.
Sugar thermometers typically have higher ranges than standard cooking thermometers and often clip to the side of a pot.
Also called a candy thermometer.
