Through the glass sensor

The unique real-time sensing system uses a through-glass sensor to directly measure surface temperature 20 times per second. This ensures the quickest recovery to set temperature throughout cooking.

A probe is dipped in a bubbling pot of oil.

Probe Control™

Probe Control™ drives the cooker to reach and hold your desired ingredient temperature. Works great for sauces, sugar work, poaching and more. The integrated probe can also be used in thermometer mode to monitor the core temperature of solid foods like steaks, cutlets, and filets.

Food is being fried in a pan of oil on top of the precision cooker.

Probe Control™ Oil

Probe Control™ oil automatically adjusts power when deep frying to return to the set temperature without overshooting.

The probe measures the temperature of butter melting in a pot on top of the precision cooker.

Heat Intensity Control

The heat intensity control allows you to adjust the intensity while keeping the temperature moderate and constant. Get rid of the double boiler for tasks like making hollandaise, citrus curd, and tempering chocolate.

The LED screen on the precision cooker shows the temperature of the spices being toasted in the pot.

Create Function

The Create Function enables you to save and name frequently used settings so that they can be recalled and used again and again to get consistent results every service.

Bring back the Long Probe!

Tom ·

I’ve had the control freak for over a year now and it has worked amazingly. Since I do a lot of stocks that require up 24 hours on a burner with precise temperature, the accuracy and safety of running this overnight is unmatched. My only request is that Breville bring back the long probe as an accessory since I currently have to rig the short probe with string since it will reach deep enough into the stockpot as the stock reduces. As a commercially-focused product I’m pretty sure I am not alone with this requirement. This used to be sold as an accessory but was discontinued for some reason.

Best culinary investment I have ever made. Perfect results everytime. Am beyond pleased with the quality of this cooker. No guesswork involved. There are far too many tasks and operations offered to express! I hope to purchase two more in the future. Temperature accuracy. Probe. WOW! You could not be disappointed with this induction cooker.

The name said it all
