Are Your Kitchen Thermometers Accurate?

To make sure your thermometer is accurate, take the temperature of ice water (it should be 33 degrees F) and take the temperature of boiling water (it should be 212 degrees F). It’s a good idea to keep an oven thermometer in your oven to make sure it’s heating accurately. Not all thermometers can be calibrated – so make sure to check the manufacturer's instructions.
