The truth is probably somewhere in the middle Very Happy

Are they both digital thermometers with a probe?

Digital probe thermometers will not read the same temp's hardly ever. Even the same brands, because they will be in different spots everytime.

I agree with Mardy. Prob best to take an average reading of somewhere in between.

You'll always get a degree of deviation in such tools, especially with the slightly different positions. They're both fine, and you've no need to buy another Smile
