The boiling point of water, once corrected for barometric pressure , is a constant. An open pot of water, boiling on the stovetop could serve as a reference to tell you which thermometer is most accurate.
If you know your local barometric pressure, you can google "water altitude boiling point" and find a calculator for the correction.
