E.G.O Energy Regulators Simmerstat are electrical control device that turns a heating element such as a stove,hotplate or grill on and off in a user-selectable duty cycle.

The control knob on the simmerstat determines what proportion is spent on, and what off. For example, with the knob turned to a quarter it might use a duty cycle of 5 seconds on then 15 seconds off, thus giving roughly 25 percent of the heating element’s full power. For both domestic and professional usage,

EGO energy regulators are most often used in electric cookers, but they can also be found in grills, for example. They control the temperature by switching the power on or off again at longer or shorter intervals. The output is continuous at the highest setting. Energy regulators are installed immediately behind the control knob
