1. An immersion circulator cooking device comprising:
a motor for drawing a fluid that is used for cooking past a heating element;
the heating element for heating the fluid;
a first switching device used in a first power mode for controlling the heating element;
a second switching device used in a second power mode for controlling the heating element;
a first switching device temperature sensor positioned structurally on the first switching device for sensing a sensed device temperature of the first switching device;
a controller for selecting which of the first power mode and second power mode is selected based on the sensed device temperature of the first switching device; and
a fluid temperature sensor for sensing sensed fluid temperature of the fluid.
