Frustrated With Temperature Readings

[Bryan]

That only works if the thermometer has a linear slope. Best is to purchase a lab grade thermometer and use that as a basis for referencing thsoe cheap digital thermometers.

I just bought a non contact infrared thermometer. I quite like it can get a bulb temp. So far the accuracy is dead on.Would make a good cat toy with the laser pointer although my dog acts like it's a sniper and bolts if he see's it? Little wussy dog.

I have one of those. I'll have to give it a try. Would the glass and water cause inaccurate readings?
