Is RH over 100% bad or better for PF cakes?
    #10992965 - 09/03/09 02:48 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I just got a new hygrometer and I suspect I may need to calibrate it but I put it in my FC for 30 minutes to see what it reads and it is now maxed out over 100% RH at what would appear to be about 105% RH if the gauge actually went that far.

I know 100% RH is good for cakes but is over 100% RH bad or better for them?

Over 100% RH is rain or a puddle of water. Calibrate the hygrometer again.

Wrap in a wet (not dripping wet, just regular wet) towel and let it sit for 30 min or so, then come back and adjust it to 100%.

Yeah I am already waiting for it to calibrate to a damp towel now.

FF, no lol, the hygrometer must be way off I guess.  I would have assumed that off 100% RH was rain or solid water but I'm not an expert on humidity so I was not sure.

100% is fine, that means that the air is holding as much water as possible. It's when you get over 100% that's problematic, it means you have water with *some* air in it, rather than air with moisture in it. :wink::thumbup:

ok so the towel calibration came out the same way over 100 to I adjusted the needle as quickly as I could to 98% actually put it closer to 97% because I had some trouble getting it to adjust right away and the sensor was slowing starting to read the ambient humidity.

Anyway it's back in the FC and should should hopefully see a much more accurate reading soon.

After 30 minutes in the FC post calibration I am now reading exactly 100%!!!  Better then I had hoped for.
