Not very accurate - perhaps within 2 or 3 degrees F. The display uses 0.1
degrees precision (either C or F), but the accuracy just isn't there.
I've done a little experimentation, but nothing too rigorous. No problems
so far. The calibration curve for the sensor goes to about 160 degrees F,
so I assume its ok to heat it up that far. Beyond that, who knows.
