Why does the Cue app show a different temperature than the Café cooktop?

Some Café display panels may show a "target" temperature which may be different that what's displayed in the Hestan Cue app. This is because the Hestan Cue app will list the actual/current temperature. As such, there is likely to be a difference in these two depending on what is happening in the pan. For example, if you just put a steak in, the pan temp could drop 30­°F, and will take a short time to heat back up to the target temperature. Similarly, if simmering water, the target temperature could be set to 300­°F yet the pan itself is unlikely to exceed 235°F: not much past boiling point (because water just can't get hotter than that.) Conversely, If not much is happening in your pan, then the "target" temp and "actual" temp will likely match up. For example, when making a grilled cheese sandwich with dry bread/minimal moisture, it mostly just sits in the pan without movement. As such, the target and actual temps should align.
