I have both types and when I got the one for the pizza oven I tried it on myself and I'm pretty sure it read around 33c as well. I would imagine that you either have to make them accurate at higher or lower temps and if you want them accurate at both the cost would go up dramatically (kind of like weighing scales for light and heavy accuracy) so no one bothers.

a little OT ... but has anyone used their digital surface thermometer to do body temp ... can't see why it wouldn't work but my forehead is apparently 33C ... which means I'm in mild hypothermia.
or am I going to have to spend 30 quid on one that claims to do body temp :(
