Customer Review: DEFECTIVE HEAT CONTROL
Summary: 1 Stars
Like the person wrote in March, I think this is a great electric pot EXCEPT I CANNOT USE IT!
I brought 3 quarts of cold water to a rolling, hard boil in less than 15 minutes SET AT 250*F!
I had gumbo-soup to finish up so put almost 2 quarts into the pot and set it on the number ''2'' for 200*F. IT BOILED! That just is not possible at 250 feet above sea level, if the temperature control is working properly.
The auto shut-off on the control works but apparently the current shunt does not function at all when set near or above 200*F. It just goes full blast(full current).
Pros:
a) the stainless steel is quality steel;
b) the manufacturing shows no defects of any kind;
c) it is heavy but not too heavy to manipulate;
d) great size ... not too tall or too fat;
e) it is so pretty and shiny ...I've never had any cooking equipment that looks that good(in 30+ years ...).
BUT the "magnetic" control release really stinks. It can barely stay on with the weight of the cord. A clip is needed, badly. I mean bumping the cord and it falls off?!? Ridiculous!
And since I am unable to simmer anything, the pot is basically useless for the 90% of the intended purposes.
...
I wrote to Presto. If they have a fix for the so-called '' Control Master '' heat control I'll update this or write another.
I'd highly recommend this if it was not for the defective heat control.
...[UPDATE]...
Presto(NPI Customer Service) responded very quickly(next day).
They are sending a new '' Control Master '' heat control unit at no additional charge to me other than the time spent.
As someone else stated in a review of the non-stick version of this multi-cooker, the older model control unit works. I requested the older version but NPI Customer Service states that they cannot send the previous model of control and must send the new magnetic clip version.
If it does not work Amazon is getting this cooker back so for all concerned, let's hope it does.
I'll (try to) update one way or the other.
...[UPDATE]...
Presto was very fast about getting the new temperature control unit to me.
Unfortunately the new "Control Master" heat control unit (item|model # 21536) works exactly like the original control unit: it does not control the temperature.
PRODUCT IS WORTHLESS! ...except for boiling water when set on warm. It is great at that.
... such a shame. :(
Changing rating to 1 star ...& requesting refund.
