Ok! What’s going on??
I clip my digital thermometer to measure my fudge and it is submerged about 1cm-2cm in the fudge.
I was reading around 112C.
I unclipped the thermometer so I can hold it while submerged in the fudge at a slant so to test the temperatures in the middle of the fudge and all of the sudden I was at 119C ??????
Is there a minimum that digital thermometers need to be submerged in fudge?
Isn’t 1-2cm enough to get the proper reading?
Should I double my recipe in order to at least be able to submerge the thermometer a couple of inches?
For precise measurements, should we hold the thermometer in our hands while measuring as opposed to having it clipped to the side of the pot?
Why the sudden change ?
Thanks
