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

submitted by Nagato - 2 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

Summary of reviews

This digital thermometer offers a sleek design and is easy to use, making it a handy tool for cooking enthusiasts. However, many guests have experienced issues with its durability, particularly with the plastic parts and probe, which tend to break after limited use. While it provides accurate readings when functional, the frequent reports of breakage and battery issues suggest it may not be the most reliable choice for long-term use.

    I bought this today and will be returning it tomorrow. The button to turn it off does not work resulting in the whole thing staying on the battery. Many attempts later I finally got it to turn off and put it back in the package to return. Waste of money, time and gas to drive back to the store to get refunded!

    If you are planning to use it infrequently, it may be worth it for the price. But I was using it about 4x a week and it broke after a month- the plastic that lets you open and close the probe broke, so it just hung there like a limp noodle
