Ace's Let's Talk About It

Food Thermometer Calibration (Ice-Point method)

Apr 23, 2017 | Ace Food Handler

A properly calibrated bi-metallic metal-stem probe thermometer is one of the most important tools for maintaining safe food! They should have a range from 0°F to 220°F. This is important because these can be used to measure both hot and cold foods.

Calibration is the act of adjusting a thermometer so that it accurately measures temperatures.

 

Calibration:

  • Fill a large container with crushed ice and water
  • Put the thermometer stem or probe in the ice and wait 30 seconds
  • Adjust the thermometer so it reads 32°F

Thermometers can lose their accuracy when they are bumped or dropped. It can also happen when they go through severe temperature change.

Check with your manager if you need help.
