How do I tell if my thermometer is accurate?
The ice bath test is the easiest way to test a thermometer for accuracy, assuming your thermometer will display temperatures of 32xb0F or less. The advantage of this method is that an accurate thermometer will always read 32xb0F in a properly made ice bath regardless of altitude or atmospheric pressure.

Place the thermometer tip under the tongue. Hold the thermometer in the same spot for about 40 seconds. Readings will continue to increase and the F (or C) symbol will flash during measurement.

Can you use an infrared thermometer for candy?
I don’t have this brand of IR thermometer but I have used my Fluke IR thermometer as a candy thermometer many times to make English Toffee.
