How can I tell if my thermometer is accurate?
Insert the thermometer stem at least an inch deep in the ice water without letting the stem touch the glass. Wait for the thermometer to register; this usually takes a minute or less. The thermometer is accurate if it registers 32° F or 0° C. (My three thermometers are within 1 degree of accuracy at this end.)
How often should a thermometer be calibrated?
Thermometers should be calibrated: before use; if dropped; when going from one temperature range to another; and after a long storage time. In most applications, a thermometer should be within ±1°F or ±0.5°C when compared to the reference thermometer used for calibration.
