I bought this one. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805946539504.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.15231802frF804&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

 

I'm still insecure about it but decided to just do it.  I've used it for one batch of things.  I still don't feel confident, but hope I'll get there. 

 

If you have a day when you have time to experiment, make a familiar ganache and test it.  Then take a small amount of the ganache, add some water to it, and take a measurement from that.  You should see a dramatic difference.  The Pawkit comes with some samples for calibration (various concentrations of a saline solution).

Thanks @Jim D. for the encouragement.  I will spend some time doing that.  Also just bought some lab grade NaCl so I can make my own standards and gain some insight there too.
