You are right.  What I asked I should have said that 1% accuracy would
be good enough.    I'm pretty sure now that I can get to the 1% level
for well under $20.  They sell small thin film platinum RTD for about
$8.  They look like a tiny SMD resistor.   I could place a constant
current across it and meaure the voltage drop.

Dry ice sublimation might be the safest calibration method and close
enough for thr 1% goal maybe.  Another calibration point might be the
boiling point of water.

I don't need to design this now,  it was an example equestion
