According to the manual,

Warm = 149 - 176F (65 - 80C)

Low = 212 - 266F  (100 - 130C)

Med = 320 - 392F (160 - 200C)

High = 374 - 482F (190 - 250C)

 

Other than the On/Off point on the knob, there are no detents so I'm guessing that these temperature ranges depend on where exactly you set the dial. But I don't know that for sure. It might be more related to which particular pan one is using, or it might even mean that the temperature control is not very uniform from one unit to the next!

So if we wanted to cook something at 350 say, you'd just have to guess where that would be?  Other than knowing it falls somewhere in the medium range?

Code still works.

 

Don't ask me how I know that.

 

Pls let me know when the MeatBaller becomes available.

 

Free w shipping charge would be nice

Does anyone know if the code works in Canada?

 

( @ElsieD ? )

I tried before @Kerry Beal gifted me hers and the message I got was they ship only within the US.  But that is ordering outside of the US.  I don't know if you buy it in the US if they would then ship to Canada.

Sorry, I missed this question until now. I think that's what you'd have to do. I'd put it on the "Medium" mark and then, if temperature were critical, measure the temperature. Contact thermometer or IR gun. Adjust the dial accordingly. If/when I get back to playing with it, I'll see what I can figure out.

 

If @Pankaj is still paying attention to this topic, maybe he can answer the question.

If one carries the A4Box outdoors and one doesn't open the lid, would the A4Box keep onions & peppers warm for some time? (It's cool outside).

 

How long do you think?

I'm not sure the lid has enough thermal mass to keep the contents warm for very long, but it depends on what constitutes "warm" for the contents and "cool" for the weather. Up in this neck of the Midwest, some days haven't cleared 11F, but I have trouble (at this advanced age) imagining eating outdoors for that! If you just mean carrying the entire assembly to the car for a trip to a friend's house, it might hold the heat well enough.

 

Give us a more definite scenario, and maybe someone can test it.

Mine just arrived this afternoon and I haven't used it yet, but I did turn it on to make sure it worked. I turned it on high for probably 7-8 minutes. When I turned it off, it stayed hot for probably 15 minutes and very warm for 25-30 minutes.

I, too, want the MeatBaller.

I measured 475-480F at the highest setting.

Has anyone inquired about when the optional pans might be available? I'm anxious to get them!
