I'm all about the the flavour so i start my pro at 175c and go up 15c after the first 5min and so on, it will last me at least 15min with a full bowl. As for a case i bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Point---Shoot-Camera-Medium/dp/B00DUGZDJ4/ref=sr_1_8?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1434615582&sr=1-8&keywords=amazonbasics recently to take my pro to Amsterdam and the fit is perfect, it also has a pocket at the front for all the tools.
