Could I use this thermometer to measure the heat of breastmilk and baby food? What is the best way to calibrate?

Yes you can! The thermometer comes pre calibrated. If you'd like to calibrate anyways instructions are included in the box. You just need to place the thermometer in ice water and press the CAL button

yes it would work perfect for that. Calibration ..... boiling water = 212 degrees F, 100 degrees C.... Ice = 32 degrees F, 0 degrees C

Ok, baby food & breast milk I can't answwr that. When my chiildren were babies it was the stone age and we had to resort to testing the tempature on our wrist, lol. But I have used it on whole milk and it worked fine. Just follow the direction on caliibrating and you'll be fine. Hope this helps

Yes, this would be able to check the temp of a BBQ or smoker. I have had one for a few months now and it has worked great so far. No problems or issues.

The dual answer is yes. The device has both a clip on sensor for oven temp as well as an internal probe for reading food temp. Both temps are simultaneously displayed. The accuracy seems spot on.

Not much, other than on the yogurt thermometer the target high temp (180F) and cooled temp (110F) are highlighted so you know your key points to achieve. It just makes it easier. You most certainly could use an instant read thermometer, remembering your target temps. The clip on the Euro Cuisine thermometer makes it easy to keep in on the pot while you heat up your milk.

I bought it for someone else. He tells me that it works very well for checking the temperature of hamburgers, chicken breasts and other items on his grill. I do not think it states "frying and candy-making" anywhere. My English cookbook says that toffee is boiled until it gets to 270 F., and fudge at 240 F. So that should be OK for the candy-making. I am not sure how far into the liquid one can put the probe. It is very fine and ideal for hamburgers, etc.

I haven't used it on hamburgers yet, but I've used it on chicken breasts (not too thick ones even) I've used it on things in the oven. It measures the temp quickly! Much faster than my expensive Pamp. Chef pocket thermometer. Makes it nice for the oven, because you're not standing there forever with the oven door open! But, be aware that the suggested and pre-set temps are way too high. So I just use the manual temp read.

I put a thermometer in the refrigerator to monitor the temp. It will take several trials to calibrate the dial on the unit. But after you find the correct temperature it will keep that accurately +/-5 degrees.

Yes, it should sutible for newborns. Although I haven't tried it on a newborn yet (my son isn't due for another 4months), I don't see why it would work. This type of thermometer is used by most pediatricians. My 2yr old daughter didn't mind having her temp checked.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.

It's not a thermometer, it's a HEATER.A thermometer measures temperature, and you can use one of these to adjust the heater to where you want it.

When it worked (I ended up returning this item because it would shut off before it was finished), my milk reached 180 degrees (way too hot for baby, but I needed to scald the milk before freezing for a lipase issue, and I used a thermometer, because the milk needed to reach that specific temperature).

my husband uses it to warm food from a fridge... fridge keeps food at 40 degrees..... takes about 40 minutes to get it hot..... baby bottle warmed to room temp should take about 15 minutes max..... but you have to put liquid in a glass jar with a tight seal.... do NOT put plastic bottles in here!

I'm not sure. Never tried. This is a meat thermometer. I wonder if perhaps a candy thermometer would work better since it more for liquids.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

I hae never tried it. I have been happy with this thermometer for several years. I use it to make toffee and it has been reliable plus it hooks to several different pans nicely. It did switch settings once, and i shut it off and turned it back on and it worked fine.I would look at the insructions to see if and how it can be done.

I believe this is a defective Thermometer. We could not get it to work properly and the instructions are inconsistent with their directions. Sorry you are having a problem. We ended up purchasing a clock that sets by satellite with a temperature gauge reading as well that we used for the room temperature and then we purchased a whelping heater that had a built in temperature setting.
