Then I wrote:

"I just finished baking an Apple galette for our dinner. While it was
baking, I ran another test. I put 8 cups of water (up to the fill line
I had checked yesterday) and turned the control to 400°. Here are the
results:

1:07 - on
1:09 - 100°
1:10 - 125°
1:12 - 150°
1:14 - 175°
1:16 - 200°
1:17 - 2:04 (ROLLING BOIL!)

Then I followed the instruction book suggestion and turned the control
down until the light went off for a simmer test:

When it LOOKED like a simmer to me, it read 198°, probably from
residual heat. The same point on the way up looked about 185 - 190°

This is what happens when a retired engineer gets involved in this stuff!

It looks like my candy thermometer read 8° low. So I actually was about
356° last night which was consistent with what my "Chinese" test showed...

I'll post a picture of my galette later, after it cools a bit. Right
now, it is on a cooling rack, on a cookie sheet sitting on a Silpat.

Did you mean you thought I should post all of this or my original to RFC?
