What temperatures can be expected from the Koolatron cooler in Heater mode?
Temperatures in the range of 130 to 140 deg. F ( 54.4 to 60 deg. C). This is hot enough to bring hot food to a pot luck dinner or a picnic. Practice safe food handling wisdom and do not keep food in the Koolatron on Heater mode for longer than about 45 minutes. These temperatures are in the prime bacterial growth range so it is very dangerous to store foods at these temperatures for long periods of time. If you have a long way to go, bring the food refrigerated and cook it at the destination. If you need dedicated Heater Boxes, Koolatron can provide these (with no cooling capability) ranging in temperature up to 160 Degrees Fahrenheit ( 71 Degrees Celsius). At the upper temperatures these are used for Seniors meal delivery programs, or School meal programs. Mid range Heater Boxes are used as portable incubators for rare animals or for incubating medical swab cultures on the way to the lab. Lower heat settings are used to keep utility workers mitts warm or for storing construction adhes
