DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

The large two-line touchscreen shows current/target temperature and timer together; adjustable clamp works on thick Dutch ovens and Cambros. It is restrained, compact and notably quiet in long-form use.

LONGEVITY

Two-year warranty. Keep steam away from the top electronics, descale the removable skirt, and expect replacement rather than economical repair if electronics fail.
