Is the only way to calibrate a digital thermometer with a Mercury medical one?
You can't stick the digital in a glass of crushed ice. I don't have an old fashioned medical one. Mine are all digital

Put it in a plastic bag first and you're good to go.

Put it in a plastic baggy on the ice, may take an extra minute to come to temp because of the bag but will still work
