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

submitted by Nagato - 9 months 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

    Let down

    I like that it reads temps fairly quickly and the compact nature. The mechanism that allows this to be a compact thermometer is a problem. It has cracked and pieces of it have fallen into our food. :( Pick a different one.

    Not the best...

    Not like my old Taylor thermometer. Used for the first time on Thanksgiving. I would return it except I threw packaging away. It’s a little confusing to use. Just wantes a basic thermometer like my old Taylor one. But I do like that it is compact.

    Design flaw

    Upon arriving the thermometer would not turn on. I initially thought there was a problem with the battery. We removed the battery cover and noticed that when you hold the battery with your finger it will turn on but with the plate on and screwed in it will not work. There’s too much space between the plastic cover and the battery. When you hold your finger on the battery it has no problem staying on but that’s not ideal for regular usage. Would not recommend due to this mechanical issue.

    Really wish these would last longer! I’m pretty sure I’ve been through three of these in the past year. They work well but are not made well. For the price I was hoping for better quality.
