Is there a way to tell the internal temperature or does it just give you low, medium and high?

It gives you low and high but in the book it comes with The temperature each setting has.

I own one of these. There is no way to tell internal ambient temperature or the temp of the meat. Just low, medium and high on the dial. It's just like a crockpot.

There is a dial on the outside of the unit. I started with the temperature high but kept reducing it until comfortable and that was the low setting.

I can't really speak to that particular question, but I am not happy with its performance. It doesn't keep the temperature consistent and half the time it seems like things are actually warmer than when I put them in there.

Yes. There is a button that lets you decide the temperature; there are four degrees.

You're really asking me to be clairvoyant here . . . but the is a simple way for you to check the internal temperature of your unit. Place an oven proof thermometer on the lower rack position, turn it so you can read it through the bowl, and see if it reads within 5 or 10 degrees of your dial temperature setting. If it is reading too low, then you probably have a malfunctioning unit or you house current is inadequate at the plug. That's the best I can do from afar . . . .

yes . whatever you point it at it gives you the temp. It's really pretty cool.

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

It has low medium and high. It has thirteen different temps that you can set. Not sure of the exact temp. It is warm than extremely hot.

The temperature is incremental, not calibrated. That said, the lowest setting is just enough to take the chill off without building up heat (it cycles nicely)

There's a high and low heat setting. I find the low heat setting to be the equivalent of cool.

The temperature is from cool to very hot, the dial lets you put it anywhere you want, I keep it in the middle(medium) and am able to increase it or decrease it as much as I want, hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, it only displays ambient unless you press a button, then it shows the set temp temporarily.

I have tried it on myself, and it reads a few degrees low, even when aimed at the back of my throat. So the answer is no. Obviously the medical community uses something similar, but they must be calibrated for the small range in body temperatures.

Absolutely. There is a target temp that is set by the user and an actual temp. Very rarely does it fluctuate within .2 deg either way. Yes two tenths of a degree. Very accurate device.

Not that i know of. You might take a cooking thermometer that u trust and stick it inside to see if its runnin hot or cool. The more i use it the better i can guage how hot its registering. Hope thT helps.

There isn't anything to tell you the degrees or temp. Only a Low High and Warm. I've not had any problems with the simplicity of it like it is. Hope this helps.
