Question 1

Does this constantly monitor temp? Or do you have to cycle/activate it periodically?

Accepted Answer

It constantly measures the temperature.

Question 2

Can the thermometer tip remain immersed in hot cooking oil?  Seems designed to, with clip, but a recent question remarks the directions say otherwise.

Accepted Answer

I don’t know … the directions say “ do not leave the thermometer inserted in food during cooking “ ….this may mean in meats in the oven since it does come with a pot clip .  Directions also say “ do not leave exposed to extreme high or low temperatures, since this will damage electronic parts and plastic.”   To me it sounds like it’s ok to clip to a pot for cooking candy but not to leave it in an oven if testing meat temp.   The directions are very confusing but since it comes with a pot clip I think it’s ok to immerse in hot candy .  Maybe need to ask the seller

Question 3

Is this leave in candy temperature gauge accurate, durable and does it have a protective sleeve to store it in when not in use?

Accepted Answer

I use mine for making maple syrup which requires pretty specific temps. I always check boiling point of water before each use or if I bump it a lot. Any difference from 212 I use as correction factor. I store mine in the box it came in. No sleeve or cover comes with but a short piece of soft tubing from hardware store would do fine. I like this thermometer and will buy again in future

Question 4

Does the probe hang close to the edge of the pot or can you angle the probe toward the center of the pot? I am not referring to the pivoting display

Accepted Answer

Similar to other thermometers, there is a clip that attaches to the side of the pot. The sensor is suspended approximately a quarter inch from the edge of the pot. You can adjust the vertical position, but no, there is not a tilting mechanism that would allow you to sample the temperature from the center of the pot.
