[Sca-cooks] Candy Thermometer

[Johnna Holloway]

Like she says. I suspend it with a binder clip from the office supply  
store
or they sell those clips now that would work.
(Amazon sells dedicated thermometer clips, but Try a binder clip. Clip  
to the side of the pot and thread the probe through it. ...)

It dangles in the syrup and does just fine.
