How does altitude affect candy making?

Higher altitudes have lower atmospheric pressure, which lowers the boiling point. The `calculate_altitude_offset` tool helps you find the exact Celsius reduction needed for your elevation.

What is the safe temperature range for sugar work?

The safe range for candy making is between 100°C and 200°C. You can use `validate_cooking_safety` to check if your target temperature is within these bounds.

How can I verify a candy stage physically?

The `get_candy_stage_info` tool provides a `physicalTest` description, which explains how to verify the stage using a cold water test.

This MCP server provides deterministic calculations for candy making. It identifies the specific candy stage--such as Soft Ball, Hard Crack, or Caramel--based on target temperature, sugar concentration, and altitude. Use get_candy_stage_info to retrieve the exact temperature range, water content, and physical test descriptions. You can also use validate_cooking_safety to ensure temperatures remain within the safe culinary range of 100°C to 200°C, or calculate_altitude_offset to determine the necessary temperature reduction for your elevation.
