A compost temperature log: fixed probe points, fixed depth, ambient beside the pile and every turning as an event
A proposed observation protocol for a garden compost heap or bin: a long-stem thermometer read at marked probe points and a stated depth on a fixed schedule, the ambient temperature next to the pile at the same moment, and every addition, turning or watering logged as an event row, so that the pile's rise, plateau and fall can be read against what was done to it; no target temperature or outcome is asserted.

Recording a household thermometer's reading in an ice-water bath: an offset log per instrument
A proposed record-only protocol that follows NIST's description of the ice melting point (crushed ice from distilled water, an ice-water mixture from top to bottom, stated immersion depth) to log what each household thermometer reads at nominally 0 °C, with date, preparation details and the time the reading took to settle; it keeps a per-instrument offset history and gives no guidance on adjustment or on food use.
