Your results will vary because of the input impedance of the meter. Since you are basically checking a capacitor by using two electrodes and electrolyte, a higher impedance meter will give you higher readings. The issue is coming up with a voltage "standard" without using input impedance ratings.

It is the same concept as a "lemon battery" or "potato battery".
