"Just what my daughter wanted"
My daughter wanted the cooking thermometer to start making sweets. I bought it for her and she was delighted as it was just what she wanted.

Takes the guesswork our of making jams and sweets, love it. Clips on the the side of the pan so doesn't drop into hot liquids!! Just soak it in warm water to clean. Thanks Yuppiechef!

"This is a very nice product."
This stainless steel kitchen thermometer is really the best thing I have ever bought.
I should have done it ages ago. No more struggling to get the fudge's right temperature.
Yuppiechef really has stunning products.

The cooking thermometer has taken the guess-work out of jam making. It clips easily onto the side of the pot and is amazingly easy to clean.

"My Kitchen Craft cooking thermometre"
I am so thrilled with this thermometer. It is so well marked for the many uses I need it for. It has the soft ball, hard ball, hard crack and all clear and readable while heating sugar. I use mine a lot for making mixed nut brittle and I don't have to make small balls on cold saucers - I just have to read the thermometer. It also clips very neatly on the side of the pot and the clip is movable. I am having a lot of fun using it and my life has been made much simpler.

What the Yuppiechefs say
Why we have Fahrenheit and Celsius, a brief history:
There are a bunch of stories attempting to explain how Fahrenheit, a German-Dutch physicist, devised his scale in 1724. In his scale the melting point of ice (32F) and the boiling point of water (212F) are 180 degrees apart. Maybe he thought that was neat, being opposites of each other. He also had a third point, the temperature of his body which he claimed was 98F. Or maybe he said it was 96F. Apparently he took a blank thermometer, marked the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water and for some reason said they were 180 degrees apart. Then for some other reason he said his body temperature was 96 marking up and down from that resulted in the freezing point and boiling point being 32 and 212.
Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, took a different and more scientific approach in 1744. He took a blank thermometer, marked the boiling point of water and the melting point of ice and marked it off into 100 equal degrees, which is why it is sometimes called the centigrade scale. 100 is an easy to work with number, unlike 180. He didn't care what his body temp was, he made the thermometer and then took his temperature. He was also the first person to figure out that water boils at a higher temp at sea level than it does at higher altitudes. Or more precisely that waters boiling point varies as a function of atmospheric pressure. Generally speaking there is more air pressure at sea level than up in the mountains. He also figured out that air pressure has no effect on the melting point of ice. That's why he decided to use the melting point (or freezing point) as the start of his thermometer. Strangely enough, to us at least, he called that point 100 degrees and then the temperatures went down to the boiling point at 0. Apparently the famous Swedish botanist, Carolus Linnaeus, was the first to suggest and use a reversed Celsius scale with boiling at 100.

How to convert:
Fahrenheit = Temperature in Celsius multiplied by 9 divided by 5 and then add 32
Celsius = (Temperature in Fahrenheit minus 32) then divide by 9 and multiply by 5
