Can this be used as a candy/deep fry thermometer as well?

No, there are specialized products for those. Look for an immersion thermometer from companies that specialize candy and deep frier equipment.

I'm about positive it will break for that purpose. I'd recommend a good digital thermometer like a thermoworks.

Sorry I do not know if it can be used for candy or deep fry. We only use it for smoking mea.

The food probe temperature range is 32 degrees F to 572 degrees F.The BBQ probe temperature range is 140 degrees F to 572 degrees FI haven't used this product for deep frying but the temperature range is certainly within the capability of the Maverick. Hope this helps.

Yes. Only problem is that you must use it in the exact angle or it won't read the correct temperature.

I would not use this for deep frying. It is really for the meat temperature so I doubt it goes up to like 400 degrees that you would want to deep frying. You should have an oil thermometer and this for deep frying. The oil thermometer would attach to the side of what ever you have your oil in like a turkey fryer or stock pot because it will get really hot and you wouldn't want to handle it but will still want to keep your oil at the proper temp. This would be good for checking the meat temperature during the cooking process by lifting your meat out of the oil and checking the internal temp.

It does not. Was not impressed with this item. The thermometer wouldn't hold it's temperature when I made candy, digital reading jumped all over the place. I no longer have this item.

I wouldn't. I didn't find it to be all that accurate or sturdy. If you are making candy, get a candy thermometer otherwise I recommend one of the instant insertion thermometers bakers use.

This is NOT a frying thermometer . It is designed to go into the oven as it is called Maverick Baker's Oven Thermometer. It does read to 375 and above BUT I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to verify usage or what they recommend. For frying and or candy I have two different styles. I would suggest you just google candy/frying thermometers and various will come up

The specifications indicate a maximum temperature of 450 ....so it would depend upon how got your oil/candy needs to be. Temps above 450 might damage the thermometer. This is an excellent instant thermometer for everyday use ...meat, fish, casseroles and reheating. I love it.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

I don't think it should be used as a deep fryer. The coating is anodized, and I don't know if it would hurt it, but I think hot grease over a period of time might be detrimental.

It can be used for anything that the probe can be inserted in. Liquids or soft solids. Of course, the automatic temperature to check specific finish for meats and fish can't be used, but temperature can be read.

I suppose you could since the temperature goes to 400F, but the end of the probe is rounded so it might be difficult to put into meat. I was looking for an easier-to-read candy thermometer, and this is perfect and is designed to fit on the side of the saucepan with the probe in the pan.

Yes, I have deep fried in this and it works great. I don't know the exact temp as thereis no degrees on it but it heats up great and I have boiled vegetables etc.

I use the thermometer to get the temperature of foods such as sugar when making candy and for sensing if a pan is hot enough to fry. Oh, I know you can use drops of water for all that but this is much more accurate and instant. No, it won't replace the thermometer in your medicine cabinet.

Yes, it is designed to deep fry with the cover on or off. The cover is clear so you can monitor the food.

This is a non-contact thermometer so probably not. In my experience you would want a candy thermometer directly in the liquid. This is great for cooking to get the temperature of pans for searing, etc. though.

It would be difficult. You would probably get burns as the thermometer is not instant and has no clip, etc., to attached to side of any vessel. I have to pull items out of oven to check temp due to heat.

No this device like most metal contact probes operates by thermoelectric metalic temperature measurement. We use a larger version of these to measure deep frying of Turkeys with no problem for many years.
