    Oven safe thermometers reading to high?

    Question

    I have two different brands of oven safe thermometers that I use for smoking and cooking. Both of them are reading high by 10-15degrees. My last brisket was showing IT of 205ish and the flat was still firm. I pulled it out and rested and it tasted fine but was a little firm (so I sliced it thin). I am cooking two briskets now and they are showing temps in the same range but the flat is still firm. I also have to instant read thermometers and took temps. both are showing 190 while the leave in thermometers are showing 205. Anyone else have this problem? the leave in ones are by different manufactures and I have tried not to submerse them in water.

    Any Thoughts

    What brands are they. Can do a boiling water and ice water test on them

      Can you test them in boiling water without getting the probes fully submerged (unless they're waterproof)? This will ensure how much they're off. Also might be a good idea to to do that with your instant reads just in case.

        I agree that a boiling water test is in order. However, temperature is just a guide to when your protein is ready. Don't be a slave to the numbers - go by feel and pull when it feels right.

          one is Thermopro tp20 (amazon) and the other Kitchenbros (target). Just wondering what it did for both of them to be wrong.

            Checking calibration with both boiling water and ice bath should tell you if it's a linear shift - off 5 degrees across the board- or skewed - -on at 32, but off at 212, and by how much. You could use that info...or buy a Thermoworks Thermopen Mk IV and they can certify it for you.
