I think the best and simplest way to calibrate a thermometer is to follow the boiling point & freezing point methods (See here). These are proven accurate methods. The only problem here is if you don't have the correct temp that corresponds to your elevation if you're using the b.p. method.
Been wanting to do the boiling point method following these instructions but I didn't know what temp should I use as reference since I live above sea level. I guess I have to resort to Google. Thanks for the great tips. Great job on this article, thanks for sharing!
