Can you tell me if this can cook at a low simmer? I saw the review on America's Test Kitchen, but the article didn't specify the cooking temperatures.

I bought it because of the same review. Compared to my previous slow cooker...medium on the new one corresponded to my low and high is high. The low setting is very low. For instance I can put bean soup on the night before and it can go all night and most of the day on low and I still have to move it to medium for a few hours. Hope this helps

The automatic setting does not cook long enough unless you are using a small potato. I did my last medium one at 400 degrees for one hour and it was okay. I will try 450 degrees next time. Good luck!

Sorry. I haven't tried to slow cook. When on low flame, I have noticed that the temperature is in the 350 degree range.

Not sure about the wattage on the lowest setting, but it says the temperature should be about 150 degrees on low. I think your results will vary depending on how big or small the pot or pan is your trying to use.

Hi Carol, you more than likely need to cook with lower temperature. If I cook any higher than med-low food starts sticking. At that level pretty much nothing sticks. If you are still having issues, you may have to re-season the pan. There are tons of articles on the net on how to do this.

Well I've never checked the temperature with anything. I usually have it set on 350 and just assume that's the temperature it's at. It cooks everything I've put in it very well at that setting that's all I can tell you.

My wife actually does all our grilling, so I asked her your question and she thinks that even the lowest setting would be above your target temperature range. I will add that we have never attempted to keep the temp that low, so our response is just her opinion and based on the fact that the burner operation is continuous. The advantage of the 2200 over the 1200 is that it does have the built-in temp gauge, so perhaps a low burner setting and partially opening the lid would accomplish the temperature control you are looking for. Hope this is of some help.

It's pretty darn hot even at its lowest setting. It has cut out on me a few times when I really try and dial it down. Overall a great stove. Super hot.

I lovemy cook top when it worked - I have been trying to Fagor to repair mine for over a year - worse customer service I have ever seen. Simmer would be a lower setting, just so the liquid is still bubbleing a little bit. I would only preheat pan for eggs about 15 - 20 seconds on a medium to med-high setting as the pan get hot quickly. The products cooks great and heats quickly (if it is working). Trial and error will get you there I really loved the conducton cooking but am frustrated with Fagor - hope your never breaks.

yes, you can simmer things without burning them. Turn the knob towards the top of the stove that is how you get your lower heats, turn the knob towards the oven and the burner it hotter.,

i have it @ 7 Celsius , and is working fine so far. i think you can still go lower. hope this helps.

I'm not much of a baker, but when I left it unattended last weekend, the internal temp at grill level rose to well over 300 degrees. I usually keep it at 225 or so. I'm sure you could do it, but I would suggest moving the charcoal grate to the lower cooking grill to get a more direct/even heat.

I have used mine in the oven at 400 degrees to bake a German Pancake. It worked fine. Other than that, I don't know exactly how hot you can go. I know the marblized pan browns foods at a lower setting than other pans. I love the way mine performs. I've never had a better frying pan.

The problem I had with this cooker, which relates to the above question, is that it doesn't have a low enough temperature. I'd slow cook on low, and the stuff would be boiled to mush in an hour. I suspect the same thing happened with the burned roast. This cooker doesn't go low enough. I like the suggestion of browning and then cooking the rest of the way on low, but that's still pretty hot. Something needs to keep the bottom of the pan, where I assume the temp gauge is, thinking there are no cool spots.

It's tiny, not sure what you would cook. Also keep in mind there's NO adjustable heat setting.

There is only a Low, Medium and High Setting and it does "Cycle" at those Settings but I don't know what Temperatures they are at. You will need to Watch and Lower the Setting so things that you are Cooking don't Burn.
