It is so consistent and quick. Nothing takes the amount of time it states on the package. It heats up quick stays balanced and consistent with whatever I’m cooking/baking, then cools down just as fast. I also LOVE the probe option where I can pre-program the desired temperature and once it hits that it shuts off on its own, takes the stress out of timing things in the middle of an already crazy routine. I don’t know how we went this long without one. I’ll never be able to go back from this!
