I want to calibrate my thermometer and I can not get the clip off. Does anybody know how i can do this. It has been about 9 months and many cooks sine i last calibrated. There is a lot of crud on the stem. I tried using a ball of foil to clean it.

    Once you get it off, throw it away.  You don't need it, and it makes removing the thermo a lot easier to calibrate or if doing a clean burn

    Pull thermo from the outside, clip will fall off.

    What Tj said and will not bend it so easy if you load tall xxx in.

    And you can set your target temp for 12 noon by spinning thermo due north.  Pizza, 500 straight up.  Butt, 225 straight up.. Anywhere b/t 11 and 1 you are good.  One of my favorite little tricks I've heard here yet (and there have been a lot).
