What is the minimum amount of liquid needed to get an accurate reading on this thermometer?

Liquid has to come to the bottom of the sensor. So far, I have been able to use as little as 1 inch or maybe 1.5 inches of oil. You don't want the sensor to touch the bottom of your cooking utensil for sure.

I am not sure, as I do not have one myself, bought 2 of the thermometers for my grandchildren. They love it and say it operates easily and accurately.

temp probe is very accurate to a tenth degree. don't if it's unique to the unit but then You don't need another one.

As long as it is a liquid, if there is alcohol in the liquid i know it will not give an accurate read (usually too high). These are intended to be used before fermentation. I would suggest getting a hydrometer and plastic cylinder for more accurate readings. Typically you will need around 10-12 fluid oz to fill the cylinder and get a reading. A hydrometer is around 8-10 bucks usually

I dont keep a thermometor for the hot side, just the cool side. I find the readings in this device accurate enough.Sorry for the late response!

At the minimum line there's approximately 12-13 oz. of water in the kettle. Let's call it 12 oz. because that's a more reasonable number.

most likely you'll get the glass surface temperature if the beamis focused on the glass surface. you'll need to sight down directly on the liquid to get a better sense of its temperature (and it'll be a near surface measurement, not of the bulk average.)

How accurate? (one way to check is to put the purest water you have: distilled, filtered, etc... to the mL marks and then calibrate your digital scale with the empty glassware, then add the water. 300 mL of pure water should be close to 300 g, 700 mL ~=700g etc... other measuring cups are reported to be not very accurate.

Virtually anything that raises the temperature to the recommended range will work. Does not have to be constant, but be above minimum and below maximum - use thermometer and try it out!

I would get a 0-30 psi gauge. It would be more accurate for a low pressure reading.

Most thermometers and thermocouples have an immersion depth that should be used. Rule of thumb is 7-10 times the sheath diameter (probe diameter). This is due to losing heat to surrounding through conduction.

I would maybe think about purchasing a hydrometer test jar. It makes getting accurate readings easier

With an unscientific measurement (a Thermapen cooking thermometer probe held about 1" away from the end of the nozzle) I was seeing temperatures around 370F on low speed at 550F on high speed. The measured temperature fluctuated as the probe moved around, so these aren't stable measurements -- expect +/- 30 degrees depending on exactly where the air is going.

As I may have mentioned in the review, in ice slush it measures 32F and is also spot on with the predicted boiling temp at the elevation of Abq (200F) but that varies slightly with weather. I'd guess +/- one degree, but have just the one sample and no AST certified thermometers with which to compare.

No. The smallest measurement on the cup is 2.5 ml, and that's hard to read. For a dose of 1.3 ml, you probably should look for a marked dropper. That's a very small amount of fluid, only about 26 drops.

yes you can, just wait a few seconds for the most accurate reading....i have used it for the liquid portion of bread already and it is very accurate. Just be sure when checking temperature, that the tip does not touch the pot or the container. because that will give you an inaccurate reading.

I would suggest no less than one cup; check the company website.I have 2 of these cookers, great products.
