<![CDATA[Calibrating thermometers]]>What is the way that everyone uses to Calibrate thermometers? I am get 10-15 degree differences between all my thermometers and it is frustrating trying to read them all differently.

It was only $22.00. It is kind of self calibrating as all the probes should read the same temp before you start.

What about barometric press. I’m thinking that has an effect too. Just be aware, a few degrees either way is ok as long as you’re consistent and love the final product. Cheers

Barometric pressure certainly has an effect, but it’s small compared to altitude.

Water boils at different temps at different altitudes.

I am going to check them all with the Ice water and the boiling water and see where they are at. And attempt to adjust if possible. I will post my results.

Some can be calibrated and some cannot, as everyone else said you get what you pay for sometimes.

In my opinion this is our best accuracy and ease of use to cost thermometer https://www.waltonsinc.com/5-digital-oval-thermometer It’s what I use at my house

Easiest way to calibrate in my opinion is ice water, adjust it until it reads 32.

Now I have no idea what you do on a digital one. I agree you get what you pay for.

All I can say is you get what you pay for. It is frustrating. Did a test using three different types this past spring. Wide variations to say the least. If I find the pics will share.
