Does anyone know the temps of the various settings. Someone said that buffet is a little hotter than warm (I think). What about the soup setting?

Unfortunately the owners manual doesn't specify the temperatures other than low, medium or high. The Buffet setting seems to be lower than the low temp setting, but I haven't used the soup setting as yet so can't say anything about it. I can say that whatever the temperatures are they are very suitable for the intended purposes. The low is really excellent for long cook times, like spare ribs, and the high hits the spot with stews without boiling (just a slow bubble around the edge.) The medium is a good quick finish when the quantity is higher than the low can cook in the available time. It's just enough to finish a bit faster than waiting on the slow setting but not so hot as to render the meat (again like pork chops, beef ribs or Boston butt) tough. Sorry I can't tell you exactly what you asked, but I am very happy with the performance and use it quite frequently. Hope this helps.

I do not know the temps of the various settings. I didn't find it in the owners manual either. I do know it's the BEST slow cooker I have ever owned. I've used all settings and they all do the job. I hope this is of some help. I'm certain you won't be disappointed in the purchase. I've had mine for over a year and use it a lot. LOVE IT!!

The high setting will max out just above 190F. I found this very disappointing for things that you want to simmer, iIt will take about 8 hours to cook a decent sized roast.

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!

Your kidding, right? I have found the bowls are barely "warm " to the touch. Just came in from letting flock out of their coops. It is 12 degrees and water was still perfect, & kept them hydrated through the night. Mine sets on a short wooden box. Perhaps if you put them on a additional heated surface but that is even hard for me to buy into. They are a blessing to us.

I agree that it is not as hot as it probably could be, but I don't add cream so that helps. I use the microwave to heat it up should it not be hot enough. Descaling does not make it hotter. Already been down that road. Maybe we should contact the company directly.

With both burners on high, I see temperatures around 500 F. High temp is easier to control than the low temp for this grill. For typical barbequing, it is an awesome grill for the price.

Good morning! I am so sorry that I don't have that information for you as the settings are merely numbers (1 - 5) and have no temperature indications. If you go to the seller's website, I believe there is a customer service number. Perhaps they can provide you with an answer. I hope you find what you are looking for. For me, this works perfectly. I have actually taken the chair out and completely enclose myself in it now. The sweat I get is amazing and I feel so energized after the sauna and shower. Have a greatly blessed day!

Follow up! Despite the cold winter I mentioned in a previous reply, we just had two weeks of the hottest spring in history here, with temps above 80 every day and bright sun all day. I walked along the tiled deck in my bare feet and stocking feet many times. It was not at all too hot. In fact I would almost say it was "comfortable!"

How much is a personal reaction I do not know, but mine is warm on the highest setting... not really hot hot...but in the cabin where used, the temp is about 60...and I do use a sleeping bag as well so that may make a difference ( the bag is used as a banket)

Hi Kamlyn! I've had soup stay REALLY hot for 3 hours, and nicely hot for 5 hrs.(indoors) I haven't used it for picnics or camping, so I don't know how well it insulates when it's used outside. Hope this helps!

I agree with Leonard. For home use it's wonderful but I don't think I'd try to use it for catering. I can't recommend a commercial quality buffet server/warmer either. I sure do wish you great success with your business though! Have a great time!

I put soup in it in the morning, about 8 or so, after putting boiling water like it says andit is warm, not hot, at lunch time, about 12 or 12:30. It's not cold, but not hot, just warm.I like the lunch box and use it all the time!

Then again, I just found this website which quoted, "Now there are reports that temperatures as low as 285 degrees can cause death to birds." http://theaviary.com/teflon.shtmlMy new breadmaker is defective and I'm taking it back to the store. I'm thinking of not replacing it. Maybe it's time to look into good old fashioned baking...

I haven't measured the actual temp. but it's plenty hot for noodles or any other instant soup for that matter. The water is steaming hot so it must be just below the boiling point (212 F).

The cool setting is not cool. It is warm. Pretty comfortable. The high setting is pretty hot.

I have the Pampered Chef Stoneware Cookbook and none of their recipes are higher than 450 degrees. I hope this helps you. C. Adams

Well theres different temperatures. The highest is 450. And thats really hot. So if you don't want that high keep it low
