This week’s tip is quick and easy, and it’s going to make your candy making life easier! 
 
You likely already have a book near your kettles that says precisely which temperature each of your candies should reach and for how long. We suggest taking it one step further and marking the desired temp for your most common candies right on the thermometer. This takes guesswork and estimations out of the picture and ensures your staff is aiming at the right temperature for each candy.
 
As you know, one or two degrees can make a huge difference when it comes to candy making. So, use today’s tip to do everything you can to keep the quality of your candies consistent.
 
Using a digital thermometer? Consider hanging a chart nearby for your candy makers to quickly reference and ensure accuracy.
