Food Temperature Measuring Devices Calibrated (46.691(b))
--Several bi-metallic stem-type thermometers registering about seven (7) degrees F below actual. Digital thermistor stem-type thermometer was five (5) degrees F above actual. PIC stated the driver calibrates these units. Some manufacturer's specify 50-50 mix of water and ice for ice point calibration. Find this method results in calibrations lower than actual. Recommend nearly all ice be used in an insulated container with just enough water to cover the ice to get more accurate results. Discussed with PIC regarding calibrating the thermometers. This was corrected during inspection.
