Hi JT! Had to get my grill out to answer this. There are 6 settings starting at 300f to 450f max. each increment is 25 degrees. Remember, that you get two sided cooking, so you would never, ever, use too much higher than 325-350. I use 325 for just about everything to keep the food moist. Still running great after 3 years of regular use. No coating has come off and it looks brand new.

The only preset temp is 300 degrees which will appear when you push the on-off button. Then you can select your cooking temp by pressing the plus or minus button repeatedly. Temp will increase in 25 degree increments until reaching max of 425 degrees.

We've made some more complex recipes like dehydrated chili and so forth. You might want to get a thermometer for it if you need an exact temperature, but we're really happy with it. What sorts of recipes are you planning to make?

There are not labeled temperatures. Numbers 1 to 14 are on the thermostat and then high sear.Breville recommends 12-14 for veggies and seafood, high sear for meats. Great product!

No. Here's a site you can bookmark with all the proper temperatures: http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html

My experience has been that it was my oven that was wrong, not the thermometer! My food came out much better and the way it was supposed to when I followed this thermometer rather than the temperature reading on my oven's display!!! Hope that answer helps... good luck!

The temperature setting is electronic/digital. It causes the temperature to be more consistent than the knob/ dial setup that was on our last electric frypan. We use it in our rv to cook outside. This one cooks foods like bacon without fail. Old style knob/dial would cycle on and off causing it to almost stop cooking before kicking back on- over and over. Very pleased with this cooker.

My experience has been that for the most part the temperature doesn't go much beyond 550 deg. F. Only when the fats begin to burn does the temperature go up beyond 550 deg. If you think there is a problem with your unit, call Customer Service......they are very helpful.

The easiest way is with an electric kettle that has a digital temperature readout. Bonavita makes a good one. No thought or measurement required.

It doesn't give a digitized read out of the temp, I usually keep it at level 8,9 or Hi. I have a thick fleece cover over it. My clients seem very comfortable at that setting.

The only temperature settings for this product are on and off... While this would probably work great at melting wax, etc... It would likely keep them at too hot of temperature for instant use... Remember that food temps have to be kept at hotter temperatures (to kill bacteria, etc in food) than what body butters, scrubs, and lotions would be kept at for comfortable use... I would think you could subject someone to severe burns if you used oils, etc right from the crock... But, I have never tried it... and must admit... Its a clever idea! ... Over time, I could really see a sugar scrub carmelizing in the crock... which would definitely create some issues... The only temperature settings for this product are on and off...

Good question...there is no control for the temperature. The temperature is programmed by the manufacturer for one setting. The temperature on this yogurt maker is probably set between 105-110F, as that is the ideal temp for culturing yogurt. The only control on this device is for the time.

Yes no problem, however it starts at 125 degs, so it won,t read until it reaches that temp. Of course most foods if not all don,t get cooked before at least 350 degs so no problem.

Probably, this would not be the best choice for reading meat temperatures. It was designed as a candy and deep frying, and for that it has few peers. For its purpose, this is my own favourite, but I have several thermometers in my kitchen. I use them all, as each is designed to measure temperatures of specific kinds of food in specific situations.

The MIN/MAX button on the right shows 3 temperatures, high for the day, low for the day and current. Maybe you need to push the button to get to the current indoor reading :o)

This is just a guess, because all I've used it for is meats, etc. I don't think the range of the thermometer goes high enough to check frying oil or sugar temperatures. Like I say, this is just a guess...I would have never thought of it (maybe I should get out of the box more!!)
