Thank you for making sense lol. Who's putting a meat thermometer in water to make sure it's boiling? It's boiling when it's boiling.
people actually use boiling water to calibrate their meat thermometers, but they always forget to check their elevation. boiling point here is 205 degrees, and 7 degrees matters when say chicken is safe at 160 but you actually pulled it off at 155
