With the Thermoworks probe sale, I decided to test all my thermometers and probes to see if I need to replace anything. I boiled some water and made an ice bath per the Thermoworks website. I also decided to test my two Maverick 732s.
My Thermoworks products (Thermapen, Thermopop, Chef’s Alarm, and Smoke) all tested within 1 degree on both tests (32-33 for the icebath, 211-212 for boiling water) on all the probes. All were within expected tolerances.
For the Mavericks, both units and all probes eventually hit 212 for the boiling water. On the icebath test, though, the results varied wildly — I was getting anywhere from 37-43 (and I retested with the Thermapen which showed 32).
I understand the Mavericks can’t be calibrated. My question is how do I account/adjust on the Mavericks? If I’m only off on the low end, how do I adjust?
Btw, the difference in read times was really striking, especially between any Thermoworks and the Mavericks. I knew there was a difference, but I didn’t realize how big it would be.
