Calibrated Thermometers this morning
Ross in Ventura
Posts: 7,234
I did this to check the BGE Thermo. and the Tel-Tru. I also checked my new ET-732, and Oneida Thermo.
Waters boiling and the Thermapen reads 212* we are good to go I live 325 ft. above sea level
Oneida food probe 212*
ET-732 food probe 212*
ET-732 BBQ probe 212*
BGE Thermo reading 12* low
Tel-Tru reading low
BGE Calibrated by turning the nut on the back
Tel-Tru Calibrated the same way.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for looking
Ross

Ross,
Wonderful to see you have gone to cooking water. :laugh: :laugh: -
Well said my friend
Ross -
Hey...
Being able to cook water is a very important thing to be able to do. :woohoo: :woohoo: I know people that can't :( !
And thanks Ross, for reminding us all, that we need to do this every once in a while. -
Anyone know the conversion factor for temp of boiling water at 3500 feet? Thanks

Tks JB

LOL...reminds me of my misspent youth, watching Captain Kangaroo. As I recall, Mr. Greenjeans loved "fried water." :P

Don't even have to go that far, Ross...there's one under the "Cookbook" item right here.

ROSS, you motivated me to test everything and I had some surprises!
My 8-year-old Tel-Tru on the Large was off by at least 10°. No directions on WHICH WAY to turn the nut in the Tel-Tru instructions, so I had to experiment. Wasted a lot of time! But finally got it right.
My very old gray Thermapen is 4° high, and the only innard I can see is the battery compartment. I"ll go to their website and see if there's a way to change it. My new hot pink Thermapen is right on the money.
Thanks for the nudge today...you're a peach!Judy in San Diego
