PJ, This is a very informative article, Thank you for writing it. I have just begun to use a thermometer, I use a Thermoworks which is much smaller than the Thermapen and under $40. I know it's pretty accurate as I tested it with ice water and then boiling water (learned that in Chemistry class), which at my altitude of 5,000 ft is 202℉. If the thermometer is accurate at those two points it will be accurate over its entire range. I appreciate the comment about high altitude baking, so I'll start taking the loaves out at 185 ℉ and see how that works out.
