Is there a way in the iphone app to set a specific temperature? So far all i see is the ability to select a recipe with a preprogrammed temperatature. It may not always be feasible for me to hunt through the recipes looking for the specific temperature I want - especially if I’m away from home and controlling through WIFI.

Tap on the bottom, and that should bring up the temp/timer screen. From there you can enter manual temp and timer. Apologize for the already set temp/time, I have a pork tenderloin going for dinner!

thanks for the reply. That wasn’t working for me - I was using the WIFI app…so i connected to the main app and it works there! 🙂

You need to use the app to type in the temp and not the dial on the cooker. That way you can get decimal places
