I need something that heats at 100 degrees. Does this one do that?

I don't have a thermometer to measure that. But I can tell you that This warmer kept a pasta casserole hot and ready to eat without burning from 10:00 to 1:00.

This was a real bad hot plate, it didn't get so hot and it broke fairly quickly for no reason and the company refused to give us a replacement. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

If you want something to keep buns warm, maybe that would work. But I wanted somethng to keep my food more than warm and it didn't work. It said that it heats up to 215 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees and I can tell you that is was no where near that. I could put my hand on it and it was luke warm. I returned it.

Absolutely not for any range of heat. I use aluminum foil as a cover. Not the best choice I've ever made.

It takes a lot of power so make sure you have a heavy enough electrical cord attached to it. The heating element could also be bad. Mine had a faulty temperature gauge that never got past 100 degrees, no matter how hot the temperature was so you could also check that using a different thermometer.

"hot enough" may not help you. More specifically, two temp settings are approximately 480F/250C and 660F/350C.

Mine did not work right out of the box. This would have a hard time heating up 100 gallons let alone 18,000. Stay away

This heater works well in 100 sq ft above 53 degrees. Below 50 degrees low temperature an additional Lasko heater may be necessary depending on what your insulation and window type that you have. I still love mine.

WAAAAY too hot! I wouldn't put it directly on an enclosure. Put it beneath, leaving some airspace between it and the enclosure. Then check it with a thermometer after a while, because they are full of malarkey when they say it runs at 100 degrees. Try 130.

This unit does produce any heat. On the contrary I sometimes use it as a fam

it has to hit 100 before you can regulate before you can set it to a temperature.

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

I have used it with high heat on an electric range with on problems so far yes. I returned a cuisinart pot of similar cost that warped on the bottom after one use for this pot.

The heating won't work for this, in my experience. You'll need to buy a more expensive one for that

Yes it does. It just takes several minutes to reach a satisfactory temperature. From I've learned that it seems to be a model around $300, to be energy efficient and warm well.

I put boiled water in it and it does fine. So anything lower than 100c should be alright. Haven't tried higher (anyone needs to?).

I've never seen one yet that truly distributes heat evenly (I'm sure they exist, but they probably cost more than I want to pay)...this is better than most I've used; not great, but I can live with it.

i tried out two of these. The first on went to 420 degrees which burned the food before it was done. The secound one stop at 385 degrees with is to hot a staring point for most foods. I went with a small Presto that you could set the temp on and has a small basket. It cooks 1 to 2 servings. I would look for one like this that is bigger to meet your needs.. I used my Thermoworks thermometer to check the temps and it always on the money or just a few degree's off.

I can't remember if it is or not. But I'm not sure that a 100 watt heat bulb is any hotter than a regular 100 watt bulb and the heat would be directed away from the mounting because it's a flood light, so I'd think it's rated fine for that.
