IR (laser) thermometers are fantastic, but not for candy cooking, as the steam throws off the reading. Digital is the way to go; I recommend one of these three: CDN, Maverick, Polder. I use the Polder and a refractometer.
Deep fried in a heavy pot on the stove top with a digital candy thermometer.
I like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AQL25/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417927229&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
I have this candy thermometer that I've used to make caramels recently: https://www.amazon.com/Maverick-CT-03-Digital-Candy-Thermomter/dp/B0000AQL25/ref=sr_1_40?crid=2A7HMXU8GD9XU&keywords=candy+thermometer&qid=1574906557&sprefix=candy+thermo%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-40
I've also got the thermoworks thermometer, but there's no way to leave it hovering in the caramel and it turns itself off after a while. I use it to double check the temp reading on my candy thermometer in the 230 degree range, but it takes a few seconds to get the reading, so I put it aside as the temps rise. The temp of the candy rises so quickly as it gets close to 248 that by the time the thermopen gives me a reading, the temp is too high.
In addition to the electric kettle lord_darjeeling suggested, get one of these candy thermometers if you want to control the temp at which you steep. I use it and it's very handy.
