Can this be used for frying and candy-making? The temp range seems to suggest yes, but I'd like to know if that's specifically stated anywhere.

I bought it for someone else. He tells me that it works very well for checking the temperature of hamburgers, chicken breasts and other items on his grill. I do not think it states "frying and candy-making" anywhere. My English cookbook says that toffee is boiled until it gets to 270 F., and fudge at 240 F. So that should be OK for the candy-making. I am not sure how far into the liquid one can put the probe. It is very fine and ideal for hamburgers, etc.

No, I've temporarily misplaced it and the instructions, so cannot help you.

I have used mine in the oven at 400 degrees to bake a German Pancake. It worked fine. Other than that, I don't know exactly how hot you can go. I know the marblized pan browns foods at a lower setting than other pans. I love the way mine performs. I've never had a better frying pan.

I use it in all my cooking /frying and it is very stable at high temperatures. I even use it for fries!

I only use it for frying. I have never thought about using it any other way, but I suppose it is possible. You probably should contact the company which manufacturers this product.

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

I have not tried using this thermometer in frying yet but am sure it will work fine for a shallow fryer. The metal probe is 4.5 inches long so you would want to keep your hands and the plastic head/reader away from the heat.ThermoWorks claims this ThermoPop will read to 572 degrees F. Also check out lots of other great options of ThermoWorks thermometers (some even offer a pot clip to hold the probe.) They have a website and 800 phone no.

Absolutely not. In fact, I used mine today and made a delicious sweet potato. It was bigger than usual so I added a few extra minutes. My problem is I never know what temp to use as it says do not cook on high so I use 50-60% power.

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.

Yes, you can! I use it in some dishes, mainly sweet baked goods. However, I CAN taste it. Especially if I fry on it. The least pleasant experience I had--is frying fish on it---taste was terrible. So now I just avoid frying on it.

It only goes to 300 F but I used it for candy that cooks to 290 and it did great!

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

This is from the manual. This may be a deal breaker for candy makers, as it is not real accurate at candy making temps. Also, it takes 15 seconds for an accurate reading. A lot of bad info here. My interpretation - 'NO' to using during cooking and 'NO' to dishwasher or immersion.Accuracy:±1°C (±1.8°F) from 0°C to 100°C (32°F to 212°F)±2°C (±3.6°F) from 100°C to 150°C (212°F to 302°F)±5°C (±9.0°F) from 150°C to 230°C (302°F to 446°F)

Hello cooking friend. The temperature probe is a sealed thermocouple. It should work fine in frying or any application within it's temperature range. Ours works great !!!!

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.

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

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.

Since it is a large deep fryer. I would have to believe that you can cook just about anything friable in this unit.My opinion only.....
