I've used this thing twice now and it reads a good bit low when I jab it into the center of a loaf in the oven. I'll pull the bread at 188 or so, since it's going to rise a little after pulling. Ok, all is well right? Nope! I check with the thermopen type thermometer and I get 160.
In other words, The wired probe is giving me some false readings. I'm thinking that the oven is conducting heat into the probe itself and messing up the reading. How do I stop this from happening?
If I put water in a bread pan and put the probe in the water, it matches up.
So I think the issue at hand is that it shifts while in the bread (not fully surrounded by bread) and creates a false reading.
