Escali Therm Showdown: Tested Digital, Candy, Meat Benefits… Surprising Choices Here! We recently tested the Escali Home Thermometer Set—featuring the Gourmet Digital, Candy, and Instant-Read Meat Thermometers—and were impressed by its versatility. The Gourmet Digital, with its sleek design, delivered precise readings for both savory dishes and baked goods, while the Candy Thermometer excelled in monitoring sugar temperatures for perfect sweets. Surprisingly, the Instant-Read Meat Thermometer, often overlooked, became our go-to for its rapid accuracy on the grill. Each tool felt intuitive, with clear displays and sturdy construction. We noticed the Gourmet Digital’s memory feature was handy, but the Candy Thermometer’s high-temperature tolerance was a standout. Our surprising choice? The Instant-Read Meat Thermometer, which outperformed expectations in both speed and reliability. Whether we’re roasting a turkey or freezing treats, this set has saved us time—and more importantly, ensured perfect results every time.
