Many of the insertion types can be calibrated.
If there is a hex nut at the point where the
stem meets the dial, you can turn the nut to
set the needle's position.  Calibrate by placing
the stem into a glass of crushed ice and water
and setting to 32 deg F.

Now, if only there was an instant-read scoville
sensing device (other than the tongue).
