The UK's Best Jam & Sugar Thermometers
Every enthusiastic baker works with sugar. Whether this is caramels, jams, honeycomb or sweets, they all require accurate sugar work. The key to mastering all sugar work is ensuring the correct temperature has been reached to achieve the right consistency, which not even professional bakers can guess. Thermapen is therefore the answer. Providing instant, accurate temperature readings, the Thermapen is your secret weapon to nailing sugar work, every time.
