Is it possible to re-calibrate the thermometer? Mine is roughly 25 degrees off.

I'm pretty sure that you can't. I don't have the instructions for it anymore though.

I do not believe so, however you can test your unit by preparing a proper ice bath: http://www.thermoworks.com/blog/2010/10/making-a-proper-ice-bath/

I don't think so. Are you sure that your oven heats up to the temperature that you want? Many ovens are over/under by 25 or more degrees, compared to the settings chosen. Check online for ways to determine the accuracy of your oven.

I agree with the other posters - it's all about the temperature you are exposing it to. As long as it stays under the rated temp (392), you're good to go. Going over that temp will ruin the thermometer (I know, I've done it not once, but TWICE). If you want a high-heat thermometer, check out thermoworks.com, but they are very expensive :(

We had to turn the dial up about 8 degrees higher than the room temperature just to have the furnace run to bring the room up 2 degrees. Not calibrated right at all, so we put the old thermostat back

I have not been able to calibrate the sensors. Just use another thermometer to compare.

i had the same problem return the thermometer to taylor, but you have to say on them or they will forget you. i did get a new one and it works fine. good luck

There has to be a way to change it. I threw the directions away, but when u power on the device it shows Celsius before changing to Fahrenheit. I just can't figure out how to get C to stick

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

You would have to manually press. Maybe the higher end model that lets you select the exact temperature could be rigged up.

You can adjust the temperature ("calibrate") by up to 270F up or down, read the manual to learn how to do it. In your case, you will adjust from 362F to 250F, i.e. 112F lower than shown.

Mike, it is a bad idea to buy this regardless of temperature. IF you get one with adjustment screws you might be able to zero it at the common 25m. If it has no set screws then who knows. Save the money from buying this piece of junk and purchase a better made one.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

The thermometer won't read anything that is below a certain temperature. It's in the user's manual, but I think it is around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it possible what you were measuring was below this threshold? I've only seen this message when trying to take the temperature of an inanimate object. I hope this is helpful.

yes dear Hippychick it says on the front of the package that it is Recalibratable. The instructions for recalibration are pretty simple. Using ice and water. i have been very happy with my Thermometer.

Yes. The procedure to recalibrate the thermometer is on the back of the original packaging. It involves slushy ice water, letting the thermometer reading get down to correct reading, etc. I don't have my package with me here at work, so cannot walk you through it step by step. If you no longer have your packaging, contact me again and I will retrieve the information and get it to you.

I don't have an accurate enough thermometer to independently verify the temp. However the thermometer on the controller seems to indicate it's maintains the temp within 1 degree of what I set it for.

Mine gets real hot! Have to be very careful to calibrate each time....so don't know what to tell you.

I found the temp to be off on mine. I used a remote thermometer to set the correct temp to 135 for an hour. This worked fine. I did let it warm up for 15 to 20 min
