Alternative uses for brewing equipment in child care.

Today, I was cursing the horrible accuracy of the digital oral thermometer I was using to gauge my daughter's fever. It was all over the place! Swings of ±3 degrees.

I decided to order a better one, but I needed to asses her temperature now.

I have some NSF certified thermometers from thermoworks, but they're not safe to use with the fine, pointy end.

Then I remembered I had another high quality thermometer. It even had a blunt tip! It just happened to be attached to my MW102 PH meter.

Double checked it against my thermoworks thermometer, and it was spot on.

Long story short, my daughter (10, going on 35) had to tolerate having the temperature probe of my PH meter in her mouth for 40-50 seconds while the reading stabilized. She said it was like holding a screwdriver in her mouth, but I had my reading confirming the fact that she was running a slight fever.

I was expecting a picture of tots bathing in a kettle...

Cheers!

Mash paddles are not dissimilar from wooden spoons.

You'd be surprised how pumps, thermometers, stir plates, and flasks get used for science expos

I am so happy you clarified that the temp probe was used orally.

I know stainless can be sterilized, but still...
