Can anyone help with thermometer calibrtion? The egg manual refers me to paperwork I did not receive.
Thanks in advance.

    Take the thermometer out of your Egg. The device that holds the therm is like a spring..mash one end and the therm slides right out. Boil water put the end of the therm in the bubbling water..should read 212 degfrees. If not adjust the nut on the back of until it reads 212. Easy job and very important for all cooks.

    Footnote: Recommend holding the therm with channel locks or something...gets hot pretty quick..need them anyway to adjust the calibration nut ;)

    The clip which holds the stem tightly inside the dome works great as a bracket clipped on the edge of a pot of water. Just push it down along the side of the pot, put the stem in the hole, and set the depth of the stem as deep in the water as you need. Just take it past the little detent or ring (groove) on the stem.

    I learned to calabrate in ice water.
    Has always worked for me.

    I like it! Nothing wrong with calibrating in two places.
