Caution: The thermometer tube is made of glass and may break if not handled with care. If the fluid in the glass thermometer tube is separated, hold spatula handle firmly in hand, weighted end down. Swing arm in a downward arc from shoulder height. Continue until fluid is a solid column.

Note: The red fluid in the thermometer is nontoxic. However, it does have a sharp taste and definite odor. If the thermometer breaks in the chocolate, discard the entire batch.

Do Not use a scouring pad or other abrasive substance to clean the printed portions of the spatula handle. If it does not come clean easily, soak the spatula thermometer overnight in detergent.

Do Not use in an oven

Do Not put a hot thermometer into contact with cold water or a cold surface. The glass tube may crack or shatter. Always allow the thermometer to cool first.
