Hi all,
Just wonder if it's possible to recalibrate an ET-73? I had a pot of boiling water going tonight to reheat last weekend's rib leftovers and I thought I'd see how close my various thermometer probes were to each other. The Thermapen jumped to 212 instantly and stayed there. My original Polder (the Alton Brown special) read 8 degrees high, but with the same probe connected to the ET-73 I was hitting 251 regularly.
I then used a different probe on the same devices with the same results. I can live with a 10-degree difference, but I'm not comfortable with one that's off 39 or 40 degrees...and who knows if the discrepancy is linear (no crushed ice handy just quite yet, and in the middle???).
Not looking for lab-grade accuracy, but something a little better would be just nice.
