Can this thermometer be used for cheese making?

I have no info on how accurate a cheese thermometer should be, but this is not as accurate as the baking thermometers like the ones from Polder. This is close, but the scale is not long, which means that it is up to interpretation. Wow thanks to spell check. If the readings don't have to be that accurate, then this one should work. If not, then look at the baking ones with a digital read out. Good luck,

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

I really do not know. I purchased this to make fresh mozzarella cheese (buffalo cheese). Sorry :-(

It will only measure surface temp. I use it to measure the temperature of milk for cheese making and I have to stir it really well before I measure to get an accurate reading.

The settings on the thermometer go to 8. For cheeses and chocolates, the highest you will ever need is 4.5-5 maximum.

Yes I think it can be used as a candle thermometer. It has the range of temperatures you would need. And it can be used in short or tall molds.

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

I use it on all my vegetables, it does an excellent job on all of them but I have never used it on cheese.

I haven't used it for that but I think you could since I use the lowest setting to melt cheese.

I don't think so, but I have not tried it. It is to measure surface temperature. If you point it at the interior wall, it will measure that temperature, but not air temperature or working temperature.

It can, but mine didn't last very long and stopped working as a thermometer in less than a year and with only limited use. Now its only value is as a timer.

Yes it will work for Nacho Cheese. This items works similar to a small fridge, if you put the cheese in already warm it will keep it warm.

I use it for pretty much everything in the kitchen. I even used it today to verify that the air temperature in my refrigerator was too low. It's an extremely handy thermometer.

Yes, I use mine for cheese making. I have used them with gas and electric they work great. Also I use them as double broilers.

no problems using it to make candies. If you are looking for a certain temperature, then best to get a digital thermometer.

I'm not an authority on this, but I suppose you could use it to measure the temperature of any substance, but you don't want to leave the thermometer in the water. If you are looking for a thermometer to leave in the jacuzzi, this is not for you. Besides, why would you want to use a precision instrument meant for cooking your meat perfectly for any other purpose? Just sayin...

The thermometer has 2 modes... for reading people's temperature and for reading the temperature of objects. The second mode can be used for reading the temperature of a room (point at the wall) or a bathtub (or other pot of water, I have used it for measuring milk temperature making cheese). Note that you have to switch modes, which takes fumbling through some poorly designed menus, so it is not a fast process. However, it can be used for general measuring of objects within normal temperature ranges (min is 32* F, max I have not found exactly but it can measure at least 110* F).
