Marilyn Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Can you use a meat thermometer to check the temp of your wax? I bought a digital instant one on impulse and now I'm wondering (before I open the package!!!) if you can use it in wax??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the digital gives a much more accurate reading. I would like it to be longer and have clip though. But it still works really well.

islandgirl Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I bought a raytech thermometer last year and love it. You just point and click. Here is a site that might help.http://www.infrared-usa.com/default.aspx?param1=googleIt is very easy and accurate. No mess or having your themometer break.(which happened to me to many times). HTH:cool2: I got the one for $59.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 You're convinced it's accurate?I assume you have to mix the melt pot to get a good reading since it only gets surface temperature, right?I've been curious about these.

islandgirl Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yes, I feel it is pretty accurate. When I first got it, I tested it with a regular glass thermometer and it was right on. IMHOYes, you do have to mix your pot , because it is for surface tempature. It has worked well for me and it is so easy. Its the only one I use now!!When I went to a candle class, the teachers were using it, I was hooked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
