New Maverick boiling water check

Vanzo

Put the probe in pot and brought it to a boil....Maverick reads 214.

I guess thats close enough, right?

I would say so. You want the probe to be an inch or so off the bottom of the pot - it can read a little high if you get close to the metal or touch the pot with the probe

Vanzo

I had it suspended about 1-2 inches off the bottom. I think 214 is a pretty good read.

Vanzo it depends on your elevation and pressure at the time of the test as well.

As we say around here, "Good enough for gubbament work" :laugh:

gubbament = government

The Thermopen website has boiling point calculator for altitude and barometric pressure.
At my house the boiling point is 201-202' depending on the barometric pressure.
