Just saw this.  Interesting but not sure why anyone would pay those prices for the Vollrath over the Control Freak which to me seems to be a much more capable (and certainly better looking) product.  I'm sure the Vollrath is rugged and all but the CF has it all, including an actual physical probe for the pan (very important for accurate temps) vs the under glass probe of the Vollrath.

 

The list prices on the Vollrath website seem to bear no relation to reality. Street price on the MPI4-1800S (wattage equivalent to the Control Freak) is ~$825.

 

The much more interesting Vollrath (to me) is the 3800W 240v model, which retails for about $1550.

My Paragon was $69.97...and it has a spring loaded pan sensor.  Setting a pan temperature is great for pressure cookers.

 

 

Late to this thread (didn't realize there was Paragon discussion here too!) 

What pan temperature do you use for your PC on the Paragon?

 

(Edit: nevermind -- see you covered that elsewhere.)
