Does this 7 qt model feature two pressure settings, one high, one low?????? Single 15 psi 250 deg f temps are just too high for many foods!

Yes there are two lines on the pop up pressure sensor only continue adding heat to the desired pressure

On the Kuhn rikon pressure gauge, there are 2 lines, the first is low pressure the second is high pressure. In a nutahess, YES

The first line is 8lbs. The second line is 15lbs. Use the 8lb setting for soups. The 15lb setting is perfect for pork and venison.

no - it has a low fan with 5 or 6 temperature settings and then a hi fan with 5 or 6 temperature settings. I love it. It's really quite and shuts off and on as it needs to depending on the setting.

It has Low, Med & High. The instruction pamphlet that comes with it gives the temps for each food as well as the amount of time it'll take to cook--rare, medium, well-done.

it has a thermostat temperature setting and a low medium high setting if that answers your question

The highest pressure is 15 psi. Don't know what the lower is - I tend to use the highest the most. The book that comes with the pressure cooker is very helpful. Love this cooker, can't live without it. It's one the best purchase I've ever made.

Yes, it has heat control. It also lists recommended settings for common foods.

Yes, I have a thermometer and my temp was always 180, then cooled to 110 before adding yogurt starter. The problem was not me - I tried 4 times - but the base DOES NOT maintain the proper temperature. I wish it did as I like the design of this product. Sadly, they have not worked out the kinks.

The lowest numbered setting on the control is 200F. The only setting other than those that specify temperature is one that would be cooler but is just indicated as "WARM". (If you want to believe the adjustment is linear, then from the spacing between the 200F dot and the 250F dot, you could conclude that the WARM dot would give you 150F. I would not suggest that you assume that. I think they would have labeled that dot 150F if they expected that to be true.)

I'm not sure. The 6 quart had high and low, I cooked on low. Although I switched to high for an hour or so. My pot was filled to the top with broth and veggies as well and I was home to watch it since it was my first recipe in this. I followed a recipe from allrecipes.com. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.

I took a look at my Dork Food specifications and it states that my unit is 120V AC both input output and with max 15 Amps. As an aside it works like a charm. If you decide on this unit I would suggest you get the largest slow cooker you can find. That was my only draw back. You will find that you will want to do larger items or multiple items and you just won't have the capacity. If you still are interested in the Dork use a small aquarium vibrator pump and air stone to keep the water circulating. I finally went to the PolyScience circulator and heat which is a quantum leap and just about perfect. $240 discounted.

Yes I here a hissing sound as temperature builds. It hisses louder when you go above 15 pounds pressure. I try to keep it at barely on the second red bar or 15 lbs. The gaskets will push out beyond the edge when you have temperature too high. Eventually will wear out gasket if you let pressure get too high too often or really high one time. My motto is never leave the kitchen area when using the pressure cooker.

It has high and low, and warm. It works to keep these temps steady, but you can't set it to a specific temperature.

Yes, I mentioned that in my review but didn't list the temps. They are four settings, in degrees fahrenheit 310, 330, 360 & 395, listed on a little window on the handle.
569771
You bet. Three settings. Low, medium and high. I have cooked mostly on medium.

No, and is not only three settings. You can move that lil dial incrementally to get whatever temp you need. It will bring water to a very rapid boil on anything over halfway on the dial.

No, it is about 10.25 psi. I could not find any electrics like this that were 15 psi. Adding a few minutes gets the equivalent in terms of doneness of a given food. But, it doesn't reach the magic 250 degree point. I highly recommend this item. You don't need to add extra water to offset steam loss In cooking because this appliance controls temperature in order to control the steam pressure. Little, if any, water is lost to steam exiting the appliance.

I found this on their web site. The only problem is the model numbers on Amazon are not the same. http://www.wmf-usa.com does not give the specs. This is page 6 of the owners manual for 8 1/2 quart http://www.wmf.com/wmf/upload/pdf/perfectplus_BAL_en_20070216_1904.pdf First ring: approx. 110C or 230 F (operating pressure 45 kPa, or 45 kilopascal = 6.526698198 psi regulating pressure 90 kPa) or 90 kilopascal = 13.053396396 psi for delicate foods such as fish or compote Second ring: approx. 119C or 246.2 F (operating pressure 95 kPa, or 95 kilopascal = 13.778585084 psi regulating pressure 130 kPa (18.854905905 psi), max. 150 kPa (21.75566066 psi) for all other foods. According to Miss Vicki High Pressure 15psi, 257F is the standard. difference between the regulating pressure & the operating pressure. I assume its highs & lows. Either way the temp is rated at 246 F. Thus I think this model would take slightly longer to cook.
