meat thermometer calibration

Unknown

when i calibrate a themometer with boiling water. do i put the point of the thermometer somewhere in the middle of the water and go from there? or do i touch the point directly to the bottom of the boiling pan?[p]when it touches the pan at the bottom its obviously hotter down there. [p]thanks

Luis,
just the middle and try not to touch the sides either.

RRP,
Put the spring clip (that secures the meter stem in the Egg) on the thermometer stem and clip it (clothespin fashion) to the side of the pan. It will hold the stem at an angle with the tip submerged.[p]HTH

Luis,[p]It should be in the middle of the water. For detailed information you can check out http://www.barbeclues.com/bbq_grilling_techniques/calibrate_meat_thermometer.shtml
