Default thermometers

Not an instant thermometer, but I have a floating cheese makers thermometer
which appears to be accurate in the 65 - 125 degree (F) range. It tops out
at 100C, 212F.

It showed me that to dry things in my new convection oven at 140F, I should
set the digital oven control at 120F. Oven thermostats seem to have the same
problem! (The oven control is quite accurate at 350F).

Forgotten where I got it, but a search for cheesemaking supplies would
likely turn up something.

Greetings,

I have at least three of the common instant read probe thermometers
(0-220F), and none of them are very accurate below around 85 degrees,
making it difficult to measure ingredient/dough temperatures (and/or
track room temp changes...which is a bit of an issue in my kitchen).
Any suggestions/solutions?

thanks much...Matt
