How to recalibrate: Since the cheese-making process happens at temperatures similar to our healthy body temperatures, a good quality medical thermometer can be used to calibrate your thermometer.
Step 1: Run warm water between 88-98F into a container deep enough to immerse both thermometers.
Step 2: Place thermometers in the water, check temperature readings once they have stabilized.
Step 3: If your new thermometer is not reading at the same temp as the medical thermometer, locate the nut found under the dial head.
Step 4: Using a wrench, turn the nut clockwise or counterclockwise as needed until the needle reads the same temperature as the medical thermometer.
