so here's how you calibrate your probe
thermometer first things first you're
going to want to get a cup or a glass of
ice water key point to this glass of ice
water is you don't want the ice floating
you just want to fill the glass with ice
and let water fill up to fill in the
cracks from there we're going to remove
our thermometer from its sheath it has a
nice little holding hole from there we
can go ahead and drop our thermometer in
try and get it so that way it sits in
the center doesn't come in any contact
the glass go down to the bottom and come
up just a little bit the nice thing

about these thermometers is you can hang
it on the end right there so right now
we see 40 degrees Fahrenheit but we also
know that ice water should be 32 degrees
so basically what we need to do is
decrease and calibrate this thermometer
down eight degrees what we're going to
do is take this out if you notice the
bottom of your thermometer has a little
nut if you also notice the top of the
case is just like the wrench for that
nut so go ahead and drop this back down
in your casing from there you can take
your reading so you see it's at 70
degrees right now we need to go down

approximately eight degrees so you give
it a little twist so now we've got that
needle there just by twisting it should
be pretty tight take it out and let's
check it again it should be stopping
about one tick above that 30 triangle

thermometers
