Unless one intends to make candy to sell, or on an unusually large scale, no large assortment of tools is necessary. In these days most kitchens contain everything in the line of tools that are absolutely indispensable, but a few suggestions along these lines will not come amiss.
For use in boiling sugar a granite kettle is the best, but those made of brass, copper, or tin may be used.
Candy tongs and candy dippers, although not an absolutely necessary adjunct, are, nevertheless, very handy; but if not convenient an ordinary silver fork and spoon will answer the purpose.
Wooden paddles or spoons are the best for stirring.
Oiled or waxed paper should always be on hand and freely used.
