Is this considered an instant (a few seconds) thermometer - that is my primary need.

No... takes about 10 seconds for a true read

Can I use this to check temp of oil when deep frying?

Whereas the temperature range can accommodate higher temperatures, it is not recommended for deep frying as the oil can get very hot and the thermometer would have to be held over the oil while measuring. The hand can get very hot doing this.

How do you calibrate this thermometer it keeps reading -40°F after changing the battery.

That's a very good question. When I turn my thermometer on, it usually reads the air temp in the kitchen. With that said, boil some water, insert the thermometer and it should read 212 degrees - this is the temperature of boiling water. If it does not read 212, then buy another thermometer!

What are the actual dimensions of this...the pic says 4.5, 2.75 for the probe and 1.75 for the body? the pic shows the body as bigger?

Thank you for catching this! The body of the thermometer is 4.5" and the probe 2.75". Overall size when opened is 7.5".
