Is the thermometer calibrated during the manufacturing process?

The thermometer is already calibrated, however, instructions are included to self-calibrate.

It should be ready for use when it's purchased. If it starts giving error messages (i.e. - LL.L) it can be recalibrated. I recalibrated mine two times successfully but it reverted to error readings the next time I used it. I returned it to CDN and received a replacement.

I agree with Lynn's answer. I also agree with Anonymous who says this is easy to use and a great value. I don't start cooking without it.

No. It has a wonderful calibration process -- you put the probe in ice water - they tell you how to prepare the ice water -- push the Cal button & it calibrates itself from there . You can run the calibration when ever you wish but for all my purposes I have had no doubt.

Not sure but it is easy to check when you receive it. We like this thermometer very much. It is easy to use and a great value. We checked it after receipt and it was correct so we did not have to alter the calibration. It comes with instructions.

Thermometer is not adjustable, but would be out of calibration as soon as you heated again because of the bi-metal. If you don't want to be adjusting all the time go digital.

It has self calibration capability every time it turns on. This unit is very accurate and is a point and shoot thermometer. This is the best and quickest I have ever owned.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?

I have not measured it with a thermometer, but if the spacing on temp markings on the thermostat are consistent it would be trying to keep a temp of about 150 degrees F. However, the the temperature readings when measured seem to run hot and be somewhat uneven across the surface.

No it does not. Saw no reference to calibration, just 1 yr limited warranty.

I'm not aware of a calibration function to it. It's simply quite accurate out of the package.

I didn't look to see if it could be calibrated. It gives reasonable results out of the box.

It is but every products I use today most of them are made in china, even my polo shirts. Anyway, I have no issues with the thermometer so far. Have been using it for 2 years and so far only replace the battery once, and it worked like a charm. Furthermore, it comes with a lifetime warranty.

If the Thermometer is calibrated using the correct process it is 100% accurate.Watch this quick video http://cooknstuff.net/calibrate/

Yes, but I do not recommend this thermometer. It was never accurate for me and is now a toy my child plays with. Pay a bit more for a higher quality one. This one is a waste of money.

It is very accurate and I place it on the oven since the begining, so when the oven is hot the thermometer has gone at the same pace. I will buy it again

Out of the box, I compared readings against a Thermoworks Thermapen and they matched fine; so calibration wasn't necessary.

Hi Brent, I've just opened one of them up, and the answer is no. There is no off set or gain potentiometer that would allow a calibration. I have been using temperature devices for years, and I have to have them calibrated annually. I have never had a 0.5C thermocouple be out out of spec--only an RTD one that goes to hundredths of a degree. They typically do not go bad or drift (unless damaged). Regards, Daryl

I have never had the need to calibrate a digital thermometer, so I don't know. They have always read accurately.

The documentation of this product did not say anything about calibration. Thus I assume it is already calibrated at the factory. But you bring up a good point. What if at some point the calibration may be off and what do we do? Documentation said nothing about this.

Yea its pretty accurate i use mine every day it comes with 2 bead probes i bought 2 pipe clams for measuring super heat and sub cooling make sure to calibrate before using
