The TCF400 is designed to help you make superior

candy, jelly and deep-fried foods.

Candy

Candy making requires precise temperature control

for best results. Unlike water, syrup temperature does

not increase in a smooth manner when it is heated

— syrup “pauses” at a certain temperature. Because

of this, it is important to observe the temperature at

all times when heating candy syrup.

Deep Fry Tips

Make sure that the oil is at the correct temperature

before adding food.

CAUTION:

Add food carefully to avoid splattering the

hot oil.

Use enough oil. When food is added, it lowers the

temperature of the oil. Small quantities of oil will

cool at a faster rate than larger quantities. Frying

at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less

flavor development and increased oil absorption.

Add food at room temperature, if possible. Cold

food lowers oil temperature more than food at

room temperature.

When cooking in batches, allow the oil to return to

the correct temperature before adding more food.

At high elevations, water boils at lower

temperatures than at sea level (212°F/100°C).

To compensate, note the temperature at which

water boils and subtract that amount from the

recipe temperature. For example, if water boils at

206°F/97°C, subtract 6°F/3°C from the desired

temperature.

CAUTION:

The TCF400 has a glass housing. Let it cool while

clipped to the pot or place it on a dry cloth. DO NOT set a hot

thermometer on a cold or wet surface.

Note:

Clean the thermometer stem before each use.

The blue liquid in the thermometer is food-safe oil.

OIL TEMPERATURE GUIDE

325–375°F/163-190°C is the normal desired

temperature for deep fry cooking.

Note:

When food is added to hot oil, the temperature of the oil

immediately drops at least 50°F/28°C. You will need to bring

the oil temperature back to the desired cooking temperature.

Frying at lower temperatures results in lighter color, less

flavor development and increased oil absorption.
