Mrs.J Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Only if the spirit moves you of course It did move me. Made some Mexican Hot Chocolate cookies yesterday.

nw baltimore wx Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Does anyone have a recommendation for an accurate max/min thermometer? I'm thinking about the Ambient WS-11 because it's the most "accurate" that I have been able to find (+/- 1 degree), which frankly, doesn't seem that accurate to me. But I've also decided not to invest in a complete weather station like a Davis. I've got a CoCaRaHS rain gauge that I really like, and I'm not all that concerned about wind speed, so a good thermometer would be enough. If it measured pressure and humidity accurately, all the better. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warm oven on and the smell of spices or yeast, ahhh two of my favorite things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one, and it's as accurate as my Davis. It has a decent range too... about 330 feet. The only problem is it can't get wet (big problem lol). Also, it has no radiation shield. So, it's a good little cheap thermo for shady areas or reading low temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super yummy with a cup of tea with a shot of Pumpkin Spiced Kahlua. I googled this. Intriguing! Do you add cayenne or is the heat already in the hot chocolate? I haven't baked but I've fired up the oven and roasted vegetables and I s'pose that counts for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to take the baking cocoa and make it super good! And I am not a Martha Stewart fan but these cookies are so good. http://www.marthastewart.com/336516/mexican-hot-chocolate-cookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks for your suggestion. That was also on my list of possibilities. I got one a few weeks ago and yesterday the high-low function mysteriously stopped working I'm going to take out the batteries and reset it to see if that works it may have been from some a little rain getting on, idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the reviews talk about something mysteriously going awry on these digital therms. It's not exclusive to any vendor either. I am leaning towards giving the Ambient one a try. It's somewhat more expensive at $60, but it has the barometer and hygrometer, though I don't know that they are super accurate. But I'd be fine with barometric trends, so a little error there wouldn't bother me. I'm more interested in accurate min/current/and max temps.
