Determine and verify the scale of a measuring instrument with a standard, known instrument. Thermometers used in food establishments are commonly calibrated using an ice slush method 0°C (32°F) or a boiling point method 100°C (212°F).

The process you undertake to make sure your thermometer is reading correctly is known as calibration. To calibrate a thermometer only takes a few minutes and is essential for good business practices. It is important that the thermometer be calibrated because if it is off by even a degree or two, it could affect the safety of food. Make sure you kno [..]
