You first put ice into a cup then add cold water, then stir. You then wait until it is 0 degrees ( which will take about 5 minutes ) then you put the thermometer in and make sure it is 0 degrees celsius. Then boil water and put a thermometer in and make sure it's 100 degrees celsius.
To calibrate a freezer thermometer, you will need a glass of ice water. Place the thermometer in the ice water for a few minutes, making sure it does not touch the sides or bottom of the glass. The thermometer should read 32°F (0°C) in the ice water. If it does not, adjust the calibration nut or dial on the thermometer until it reads the correct temperature.
To calibrate an unmarked thermometer, you can place it in a known temperature source, such as an ice bath or boiling water, and compare the reading to the actual temperature at that point. Adjust the thermometer accordingly by using a small wrench to rotate the calibration nut until the correct temperature is displayed.
The thermometer should read 100 degrees Celsius when placed in boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
To calibrate a bimetallic thermometer, immerse the probe in a stable reference temperature source (like an ice bath or boiling water) and compare the reading to the known temperature. If there's a discrepancy, adjust the calibration screw on the thermometer until it matches the reference temperature. Repeat this process at different temperatures to ensure accuracy across the thermometer's range.
Accuracy is lost when thermometers are bumped or dropped.

To calibrate your oven for accurate temperature settings, you can use an oven thermometer to compare the actual temperature inside the oven with the set temperature. If there is a difference, you can adjust the oven's temperature settings according to the thermometer readings.
When using the ice point method to calibrate a thermometer, you should first ensure that the thermometer is clean and free of any contaminants. Next, immerse the thermometer's probe in a mixture of ice and water, ensuring that the probe does not touch the sides or bottom of the container. Allow the thermometer to stabilize for a few minutes, then check the reading; it should be at or very near 0°C (32°F). If necessary, adjust the thermometer according to the manufacturer's calibration instructions.
When using the ice-point method to calibrate a thermometer, first ensure that you have a mixture of ice and water at 0°C. Immerse the thermometer's sensing element in the mixture, ensuring it does not touch the container's sides or bottom. Allow the thermometer to stabilize for a few minutes, then read the temperature and adjust the thermometer as needed to ensure it accurately reads 0°C. Finally, document the calibration results for future reference.

To calibrate a gas oven for optimal performance, you can adjust the temperature settings using the oven's calibration feature or by using an oven thermometer to check and adjust the temperature manually.
