212 and yes. At an eggfest a couple years ago, a lot of them where off 50 degrees.

It's easy and quick to do so it certainly wouldn't hurt to do it.....put the "tip" of the thermometer in boiling water...not touching the pan....hold the nut behind the dial with a wrench and adjust it to read 212°

Depends but I would if you got time.

If you are at sea level, 212. The higher you are, the lower the boiling point. Here's a calculator based on your zip code.

You turn it with a wrench on the underside. I forget what size. Tim

Thanks. Leave it to me to over do something. I was born left handed and I will die an over achiever and poor.
-
thanks to all who responded..

I calibrated mine to 210 due to elevation, but when n house or garage it is about 15 degrees below actual temp. Is this normal? Thanks
-
When I calibrated mine, it was 10-15 degrees low. Anyway, congrats and enjoy!!!
