Sounds like you were a little busy yesterday. I hope everything tasted better than you expected?

As far as comming down from temp is concerned, the others gave some good advice. There are some times when you have to though. In this case try to get up to the higher as fast as you can and lower it as fast as you can. The shorter you are in this nuke temp area the less residual heat you are going to have to get rid of. I have been up to 1000 and down to 400 in 20 min. Mind you I was up to 1000 with the dome open. Only realized I was that hot after closing the lid.

Good luck. Keep playing with your new toy. Enjoy the time spent making good food for your family. Post pictures as often as you'd like.
