Question about thermometers
Hi. DH wants fish and chips for dinner tonight. I have a candy thermometer, but not a deep-fry thermometer. Can I use the candy therm. to measure oil temp? TIA.

If the thermometer's temperature range covers the hot oil temperature range of 325F to 400F you can use it.

What is it's top temperature marking?? It would need to be in the 400*+ Range...
Not that you will fry that hot...but this will tell you if the thermometer is suited for frying temps!!

otherwise just drop a cube of bread into the hot oil. It should immediately have bubbles form around the bread and from memory it moves around. If it the bubbles don't happen or are slow in happening, not hot enough. If the bread starts burning, too hot.

I finally found it
 Another casualty of the renovation. It measures up to 550*F, so I guess it will work  Thanks, Andy, UB and Bilby.

I thought you might like to see what DH and I rigged up for the frying thermometer. It was my ingenious idea to use a hacksaw blade to hold the thermometer off the bottom of the pot. The thermometer fits neatly in the hole at the end of the blade, and a garbage bag tie holds the thermometer to the pot. Worked great
