The $60 digital thermometer that lied to me for 6 months

I finally dumped that fancy probe thermometer I bought off Amazon last spring. It was reading 5 degrees low the whole time, so my sourdough was always underbaked in the middle and I kept blaming my starter or my oven. Took a cheap mercury one from the hardware store in Portland to realize the truth. Anyone else had a bad tool waste more money than the replacement cost?

You calibrate thermometers with ice water, right? That's the real test.
