I have calibrated both my deep fryer and oven with an industrial pt100 based system. Can highly recommend, both were quite far off. The oven about 20C too low, the fryer about 10 too high. Now the recipes actually work, this is highly important for someone who manages to burn water.

I tried the oven first with a thermocouple from my cheap multimeter, it claimed to be able to measure up to 500C or so, but the insulation of the thermocouple started to melt at about 250...

Electric oven has a socket for a thermocouple probe to check temperature of a meal. Never bothered to do that for actual meal, but it seemed to work.

I find that almost all ovens do not regulate temperature - they just turn on/off power with predetermined timer so temperature measurement is not very valuable in such cases.

Thermocouples, that are provided with typical DMM, are manufactured to sustain up to 200-250C max as complete assembly. Wires themselves without or with proper insulation probably can go for >1000C (at least for short periods).

I keep expecting Siglent to rebrand themselves as "Sigsight" any day now.
