The new CDN Floating Thermometer (FT220) makes it easy to accurately measure liquid temperatures because of its reliable technology, intuitive opera- tion and ability to float. This specialty thermometer is the perfect companion for best results for sous-vide cooking or any recipe requir- ing a water bath. A water bath, or "bain-marie," enhances the baking of custards and cheesecakes by ensuring that the center is done before the edges dry out. For brewing beer, water baths are used to improve beer taste by con- trolling the temperature of the fermen- tation process. This multipurpose floating thermome- ter will also come in handy for sauces, soups and stews. Highly water- proof, this thermome- ter is dishwasher safe and comes with the coveted IPX6 rating that indicates that it meets the waterproof standards of profes- sional kitchens. The Floating Thermometer features the quality con- struction for which CDN is known, with a sturdy polycarbonate lens and 304 stainless steel housing. It is enclosed in a stay-cool buoy that floats on the surface of a liquid and is removable for easy cleaning. The one-inch diame- ter display is easy to read, measuring temper- ature from 20 degrees to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightweight, compact design adds to the thermometer's con- venience. The CDN Floating Thermometer (FT220) comes with a limited five-year warranty and has a suggested retail price of $8. It is available for immediate ship- ment.
