There's a YouTube video for that.....just like there's a YouTube video for how to tie your shoes, how to install toilet paper on the roller, how to turn on the hot water in the sink - it's amazing!Nope won't work with wireless digital. Would a plastic baggie around it really work? How do you know if you have the correct amount of ice. LOL

Okay, now that the tongue-in-cheek portion of our program is over.....You want to totally fill the container with ice, then add just enough water to fill the spaces in the ice and come up to 1/2 inch of the top of the container. Stir it for a minute...that's a full minute by the way....then put your thermometer in and continue to stir. It should read 32 degrees and stop dropping. And baggies are not always optional.

Edited to add: Just found these better instructions on the Incubating with Friends thread.
