Q: Can I calibrate this thermometer? If so how do I calibrate it.

submitted by Nagato - 1 year ago
  • A: This thermometer cannot be calibrated. If a user thinks the temperature reading is incorrect, they should put fresh batteries into the thermometer. They can always check the accuracy using ice water slurry: 1) Fill a cup with ice 2) Add water to cup 3) Slowly stir the ice slurry with the probe (keep probe away from the sides and bottom of the cup for better accuracy) 4) Thermometer should read 32F (0C). If you still have additional questions/concerns, please reach back out or contact customer service taylorusa@lifetimebrands.com

    Broke after less than six months

    Broke within 5 months of occasional use. Works but the metal part is now hanging by a wire and a little jagged plastic piece fell off. Avoid.

    Don't buy

    I agree with the other reviewer. Crap product! This item is not instant read, took 7-10 seconds - ok, not THAT big of a deal.....BUT first the plastic broke at the hinge. Kept using (I'm in Big Bend and NOWHERE near any type of store, and need this for my milk for my coffee), next the wires came out and apart! Can't use to keep my milk scalding! Will return this broken piece of crap once I get back to a town. OH my coffee - lol
