Short of using a black body, the next best way to calibrate your infrared thermometer is to use a simple, inexpensive Infrared Comparator Cup. It is best to calibrate your infrared thermometer at more than one temperature (at 41°F [5°C] and 140°F [60°C] for example) and the Infrared Comparator Cup makes it easy.

As a general rule, probe thermometers should be calibrated at the start of each shift, in between going from one temperature range to another, after being knocked or dropped and/or after a long storage time.

CHECKING YOUR PROBE A simple way to check a digital probe is to put it in iced water and boiling water: • The readings in iced water should be between -1°C and 1°C. The readings in boiling water should be between 99°C and 101°C.

Insert the thermometer stem at least an inch deep in the ice water without letting the stem touch the glass. Wait for the thermometer to register; this usually takes a minute or less. The thermometer is accurate if it registers 32° F or 0° C.
