Product DescriptionChocolate perfection starts with precise temperature. The CDN Chocolate Tempering Thermometer is purpose-built for the narrow temperature windows that separate perfectly tempered chocolate from a grainy, dull mess. The 12" laboratory glass column with a non-mercuric liquid reads across the 40 to 130°F range — exactly where chocolate tempering happens — with the clarity and precision that glass thermometers are prized for. A protective case keeps it safe between uses, and the dishwasher-safe design makes cleanup easy after even the most involved chocolate work.Details & Dimensions Dimensions: 0.25" W × 12" H × 0.25" D (0.6 × 30.5 × 0.6 cm) Glass column length: 12" (30.5 cm) Material: Laboratory glass with non-mercuric column Temperature range: 40 to 130°F Includes protective case Dishwasher safe Use & Care Use: Submerge glass column in melted chocolate; monitor temperature carefully during melt, cool, and reheat stages; target 88–90°F for dark chocolate, 86–88°F for milk, 82–84°F for white Tempering stages: Melt to 115–120°F; cool to 80–82°F; reheat to working temperature for your chocolate type Cleaning: Dishwasher safe; or wash by hand with warm soapy water; handle glass column with care to avoid breakage; store in protective case
