Re: Installing thermocouple in corretto
After about 130+ roasts I noticed the teflon wearing away . So I attacked it with emery paper and sanded it all off.....
I recall reading that teflon is good to about 290*c. So this form of roasting shouldnt be hitting those temps.
Since sanding bread bin , Ive probably done another 80 roasts...
ye ol beville is a rugged beast.

Re: Installing thermocouple in corretto
The pan does get pretty hot with the Covered version of a Corretto but Im not sure that it gets hot enough for the Teflon to start breaking down; Ive never measured the surface temperature....Originally posted by 2B3B2D353A393F580 link=1309744844/4#4 date=1309771304Personally, I wouldnt worry about it as I dont think the bowl in the breadmaker gets hot enough to cause a problem.

Re: Installing thermocouple in corretto
Ive done many a roast in my teflon coated corretto and there is no evidence of degradation. Ive finally been moved out of intensive care after all the amputations and my brain still works brain still works brain still works brain still works. ;D

Re: Installing thermocouple in corretto
Hi James, Thanks for the pics!, nice neat job.
Wish i was as care free as you, but potentially releasing toxic & carcinogenic gases from teflon has to be an issue doesnt it?
Interested in hearing from anyone has researched issue.

Installing thermocouple in corretto
Hi CSers, I am looking at getting a corretto setup but have a few questions.
If i go this way i would definately want a data log/thermocouple but have concerns about drilling the bread maker pan which may contain teflon.
Do the bread pans contain teflon?
If so which models are suitable?
Appreciate input?
Lenny
