Is there a temperature control (other than the light). And, is the "flip" function easy? I intend to use this for omelets..

There is a basic Min-1-2-3 temp control. The flip is strange. I don't know if it locks until it achieves some certain temp after being filled with the dough, but it acts that way. Once you can flip it, it flips easily. We love it, but it takes at least 10 min per waffle no matter the batter on the max temp. Very easy to clean too.

The flip function is easy. As far as I can tell, the cast iron plates aren't reversible so you may not be able to use it for anything other than waffles. No, there is no temperature setting.

Sorry for the delay. No control temperature it is like machines that make sandwiches crisp where u put the regular size bread input your fillings in and then cover with another piece of bread. You can't walk away from the machine and have it turn off like a microwave. The size of the fish from nose to tail is about 5" and the width from the belly to the top of the top fin is about 2 3/4". It makes two at a time and is great 'cause you can fill them with whatever you want and you don't have to go out and find them, pay for them etc. I really like mine. Just know that the directions are in Japanese. It's easy to use. You really can't beat the price as Taiyaki makers are not easily found at least not in Cali. Sorry for the delay.

No you can't switch it to warm, I don't think they are designed to do that, the 'warm' function goes on after your set time is done. I love this crock pot my meals come out perfect! Good Luck!

The toaster operates by timer. When I put something in, it turns off when it times out. When I put an item that has to be rotated or flipped, the oven stays on when opened. I stay safe by pulling the tray out before turning the food. It can be easily changed by hitting the off button before opening, (it will still be very hot) however it would then have to be reset to finish cooking. As always any electrical cooking item is to used with caution, and not used by youngsters. This is not an item for young children.

Thanks, Joseph! You review and follow-up were really helpful and I'm glad to hear you're still liking the FlipSide after almost a year. While I generally agree that a temperature control doesn't matter much as long as it's hot enough, I find that when it's too hot, the waffle cooks too fast it's not as moist on the inside as I'd like it to be. Can you comment on that?Thanks again!

No I use it in a 10" pan a lot and it's fine. It's great for flipping in a small pan because you can lift the omelet completely out of the pan to turn it over.

Yes! Setting a specific temp is impossible (a lot of tinkering with knob), a good cooked steak is possible.

Yes. The minute you put food on it drops. I've only cooked on 5 because of this and it still doesn't come up to temp. What's worse is that when you flip food it doesn't get a good sear on the second side because the temp is so low. It's not the weather and it's not constant lid opening. So what is it? I'm incredibly disappointed so far.

yes because you can adjust the temperature really low if you want. When you turn the temperature control knob it will gradually change the temperature. It doesn't jump up from too cold to burning hot. I have two of these grills.why? great price, easy to clean, small enough to store it. I did not want a top griddle plate to get in the way and flop around. Cooks burgers good, but thick pieces of chicken will have to be cut thinner or finished off in the oven for sure. That's where the upper cooking grill is needed. I have a spare one if I need it if the first one fails.

Yes, it is very easy to use. When I travel I just hit the temp button to the desired temperature I want it when I'm gone and then hold it for however many days I'm gone. I'm very happy with it.

Mine Crockpot has a dial with 3 settings, off, low and high. No temperature control on this model.

I decided to experiment by timing everything I cook. Timing will vary from product to product, but I now know how to prepare my favorite foods. It didn't take very long to figure it all out. In addition, I flip my food once or twice while cooking. My George seems to cook a tiny bit hotter on the bottom. The instructions say it isn't necessary to flip your food. Perhaps it is just a comfort zone for me as I prefer to flip. I am very happy to cook with my George now that I know how to cook my favorites.

You are lucky ... mine lasted less than six months. Apparently the fuse needed replacing but I would have to send the whole thing back to the factory. I decided the $170 was a sunk cost and just threw it out. Never liked the fact that it had no on-off button nor temperature control nor removable liner, making it very difficult to lift and move. I now use a crock pot and it has all those things and only cost $20.00

It is a lever that slides from left to right. No indication of the temperature, just trial and error. I leave mine set about midpoint, which cooks without scorching the meat.

I have never had that problem with mine. It seems to be fairly simple to operate......you turn it on, set the temperature, set the time, done. However, if you set it on the highest temp setting (which in my opinion is too hot) it will revert to the lowest temperature setting after 1 hour. I am not sure why. However, anything outside of this.....I would look into sending it back. I love this product and so do my clients.

Toasting is very good. I find the convection feature is excellent. Food cooks so fast. I wish there was a timer, though. That would be perfect.

It does one omelet at a time. You do close it and turn it around to do the other side. I hope this answers your questions.
