I'm considering buying either the model 1200 or 2200 but would like to know if the 2200 can be set to very low temp around 200 - 225 to cook say a slab of ribs "low and slow".

My wife actually does all our grilling, so I asked her your question and she thinks that even the lowest setting would be above your target temperature range. I will add that we have never attempted to keep the temp that low, so our response is just her opinion and based on the fact that the burner operation is continuous. The advantage of the 2200 over the 1200 is that it does have the built-in temp gauge, so perhaps a low burner setting and partially opening the lid would accomplish the temperature control you are looking for. Hope this is of some help.

Yes, I think so, but I haven't used it that low. I typically lower the flame to where the temperature stabilizes around 350 or 375. That does a nice job on small roasts. But they cook faster than indoor ovens. I suppose that suggests the temperature is higher than it reads, but the roasts come out juicy, as though cooked on a rotisserie. This is a terrific, multipurpose, fuel conserving grille for two, or for a small family.

I've never tried a rack of ribs and I have the Q220, we love the grill and it's the best one we've ever had. I think you could reduce the temp and do the ribs. I have maintained a consistent temp with the on board thermometer. Good luck.

We have never tried but my boyfriend who does all the BBBQing he says that he is sure you could but he thinks you would have to prop the lid open a bit to keep it at a low temp. We have to say though we love these grills - we own the smaller one too for camping - they are so easy to clean and are very sturdy grills - we would recommend them to everyone - we use to buy really expensive grills for the back yard and they would rust out and the igniter would stop working but not on these.

As good or better overall. I have the 14.5, two 18.5s and the 22.5. The 14 is nice for small cooks. I overloaded it once and had to add charcoal. If you stick to smaller cooks, you won't have that problem. I have had no issues with temp control on it. Either using water or without water. Have roasted chickens in the 320-335 range and have smoked fish at 200-225 and also have done ribs and butts in between.

Aloha John, First I love my oven and so does my neighbor who also has this model, hers was refurbished mine was not.The low on bake setting is 120 degrees the high is 450 degrees. However on broil it goes to 500 degrees. I hope this answers your question. My neighbor bakes more than I do and just loves how her pies, cookies and cakes have come out. I like to roast, toast and broil. The convection fan speeds up the cooking process. I have a small kitchen and in Hawaii I don't need the excess heat in the small space. The amount of wattage is that of a good hair dryer. I save energy with this oven. I don't plan on cooking a whole turkey. If I needed to cook one I can do it on my Weber outside!

This model has three settings - Low, High and Warm. Both the low and the high settings on the slow cooker will cook at about 209 degrees F. These two settings, however, will cycle differently which will cause the high setting to prepare food faster. The warm setting on a slow cooker is around 165 degrees F.

Did some web research and, and based on what I read and my experience with other non-stick pans, wouldn't hesitate putting my B&C; non-stick in a 350 or 375 oven. Frankly, like others have written, don't know w hy you'need any higher temp than that. Just be sure to remove the silicone handle cover.By the way, I love this little fry pan.

It seems that nobody that has answered here has read the manual that came with the slow cooker. From page 6 of said manual: high equals 212°F, low equals 200°F, simmer equals 185°F, and keep warm equals 165°F.

I believe the answer is that the 2200, has two folding tables, and a built in thermometer in the lid, and the 2000 model does not have these two features is the only differences. RHW 15/01/15

Minimum Fahrenheit (simmer ?-210º), 220º, 270º. 320º, 370º, 420º maximum.Minimum Celsius 105º, 130º, 160º, 190º, 215º maximum. I hope this helps and I love it so much because I can cook an entire meal in the pan of meat and steamed veggies. It is also pretty and I just leave mine out on the counter top for both reasons, it is used frequently!

Not sure about the wattage on the lowest setting, but it says the temperature should be about 150 degrees on low. I think your results will vary depending on how big or small the pot or pan is your trying to use.

I loved my De'Longhi. It would cook anything. It was at least 10 yrs old. I baked on 325, but you can play with the temp

Hello, I personally have never used low settings to cook. I am sorry I couldn't tell you if it can be used as a slow cooker.

Sorry. I haven't tried to slow cook. When on low flame, I have noticed that the temperature is in the 350 degree range.

150 degrees is the temp both the convection and regular baking setting begin at. I love this appliance and use it multiple times a day. It's too hot in Fl. to heat upa large oven so this is my go to appliance. Ribs, meatloaf, anything that the crock/slowcooker can't do goes into this oven. It's also our toaster for daily use.

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

I'm not much of a baker, but when I left it unattended last weekend, the internal temp at grill level rose to well over 300 degrees. I usually keep it at 225 or so. I'm sure you could do it, but I would suggest moving the charcoal grate to the lower cooking grill to get a more direct/even heat.

I have not found this to be an issue. When I am slow cooking, I use the two outermost burners with the food in the center of the grill. I can easily maintain temps from 250 to 350 degrees by simply adjusting those two burners. For direct heat cooking, you may want to try using only the one or two burners directly beneath the food.
