Types of Dial Candy Thermometers

The Williams Sonoma Easy-Read Candy Thermometer is one option to consider for your kitchen. It has indicators for seven temperature stages for making different types of candy, and it reads temperatures between 100 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The face is oversized for clear visibility and the numerals advance in 20-degree increments. There's a stay-cool handle that's easy to hold, along with a clip to secure the thermometer to your melting pot.

There are other types of thermometers to choose from, including an instant-read style from Williams Sonoma that can be used for making candy or checking the temperature of meat and poultry. It has a dial display with white numerals against a black background, along with a red indicator hand that's easy to see. The same type of thermometer comes in a style for the oven and one made especially for meat.

The same type of thermometer you use for candy making can be used for deep-frying, too. If you need a deep fryer, Williams Sonoma has a range of options. There are also frying baskets that you can use with a large pot, along with stainless steel scoopers and slotted spoons. You'll also find cleaning essentials to take care of any mess left behind -- including kitchen linens, dish soaps and countertop cleaners.
