The ice-point method The boiling-point method Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 2 / 10 Can all thermometers be calibrated? Some thermometers can't be calibrated and must be replaced Some thermometers need to be sent to the manufacturer for calibration Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! Always follow the manufacturer’s directions when calibrating thermometers 3 / 10 When using the boiling-point method to calibrate a thermometer, what should the reading be adjusted to while measuring the temperature of boiling water? 212°F (depending on your elevation) 32°F (regardless of your elevation) Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 4 / 10 When using the ice-point method to calibrate a thermometer, what should the reading be adjusted to while measuring the temperature of the ice water? 32°F (regardless of your elevation) 212°F (depending on your elevation) Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 5 / 10 How accurate should a thermometer be if it’s used to measure air temperature in food-storage equipment? Within plus or minus 2°F Within plus or minus 3°F Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 6 / 10 How can a bimetallic-stemmed thermometer be calibrated? Turn the calibration nut until the correct temperature is indicated Put its stem in ice water and adjust to the freezing temperature Put its stem in boiling water and adjust to the boiling temperature All are correct Wrong! Thats right! The freezing temperature of water is 32°F. The boiling temperature of water is between 200°F and 212°F depending on your elevation. 7 / 10 What is a standard method for calibrating thermometers? The boiling-point method: adjusting the thermometer to give the correct reading when taking the temperature of boiling water The ice-point method: adjusting the thermometer to give the correct reading when taking the temperature of freezing water Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 8 / 10 According to ServSafe, what should be done with a thermometer at each of these times? • Before each shift• Before deliveries arrive• After they have been bumped or dropped• After they have been exposed to extreme temperature changes They should be calibrated to give the correct reading They should be cleaned and sanitized Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 9 / 10 How can you make sure your thermometers are accurate? Immerse the entire sensing area in the food By calibrating them regularly Neither Both Wrong! Thats right! 10 / 10 What is calibration? Using the boiling point or ice point method Adjusting thermometers to ensure they're accurate Neither Both Wrong! Thats right!
