I make homemade fudge every year for friends and family for the holidays. Every year I use my good old trusty medium sized heavy bottomed sauce pot. And every year I have difficulties getting my candy thermometer to get an accurate temperature reading. I think this is due to the wide base of the pot, and the liquid doesn't reach very high up in the pot so my thermometer is only maybe an in submerged in the liquid.
I need a pot that has a smaller base but is higher than your average sauce pot. As with the height I have now, when the liquid starts to boil up, it goes right to the rim, sometimes it even goes over which makes a sticky hard to clean mess for me.
Does such a thing exist? I wouldn't even know how to look for one, I've checked all the typical stores that sell pots and pans around town.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
