I am using the anova precision cooker wifi model year 2019. I set the temperature to 145f and the water is reading 146f. If the anova precision cooker wifi model is off but can read temperature, it is even a couple degrees higher. So is there a way to calibrate the temperature on the device? I used 3 of my thermoworks thermometers to confirm my accuracy. ---

Hey Boo, I am not aware of there being a recalibration method. If the temperature error is a constant value over the normal operating temperature range why not just adjust your cooking temperatures to compensate? You can check you APC’s accuracy by immersing the shaft in a deep 50% ice water bath when it is energized, but not operating. The display should be at 0C or 32F. If you have some spare time ask your question to the Anova _ **Support** _ team at the above link. ---

> [@Boo](#): > > anova precision cooker Don’t know if you already got an answer from Anova, but I believe the app has a temperature calibration function. ---

You believe there’s a temperature calibrator in the app? I do not see it. ---

I believed wrong. It looks like it used to be a feature of the app ([How do I calibrate my device with the app?  | Anova Culinary Help Center](https://intercom.help/anova-culinary/en/articles/883617-how-do-i-calibrate-my-device-with-the-app)) but is no longer - I just checked the app with my own precision cooker…
