Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature stages should I know for candy making?

Key candy temperatures: Soft Ball (112-116°C) for fudge and fondant, Firm Ball (118-120°C) for caramels, Hard Ball (121-130°C) for nougat, Soft Crack (132-143°C) for toffee, and Hard Crack (149-154°C) for hard candy and lollipops. The Loyal thermometer marks these stages for easy reference.

How do I clean and care for my candy thermometer?

Wash the thermometer in warm soapy water after use. Do not submerge the entire thermometer including the dial. Allow to air dry before storing. Avoid sudden temperature changes such as plunging a hot probe into cold water, as this can damage the thermometer.
