Thermapen Trust Issues - Wild Temperature Fluctuations.


 
There's only one thing I don't like about Thermoworks products; they go on sale 2 weeks after I buy
 
I know that Thermapen in the accepted gold standard for instant reads and digital thermos in general are preferred for reasons of speed, but FWIW my $10. Tel-Tru bimetal hasn't varied by a single degree in 6 years.

Another interesting note is that here in Ontario, our local health department will only accept non-electronic thermos as standard equipment in commercial kitchens.

That seems very strange...

The explanation given to me when I was running the local Denny's (and had just bought 6 new Javelins for the kitchen) was that batteries can't be trusted. The bimetals also had to be equipped with a calibrating nut and we had to have shiftly documentation (3 shifts daily) of boiling water/ice bath tests on all thermos.
 
my thermapen is also off by 5-10 degrees done with the ice water test and boiling water test. Can i calibrate my Thermapen? Or do we have to call in for service?
