What does an aquastat do?

Aquastats are thermostats sensing the temperature of the water itself, and are used basically to stop and start the burner by controlling the electrical circuit. The temperature of the water is held within preset limits by the aquastats. As the temperature of the water drops to the low setting, the aquastat closes a contact and starts the burner. When the temperature reaches the high setting, the aquastat opens the contact and stops the burner. There is usually a high limit setting which will open the contact, if it should fail to open on the automatic HI/LO control. This feature can be contained within the same instrument or it might be a separate unit. What temperature should the aquastat be set at for the boiler?

What temperature is low medium high for a cooktop recipe?

The actual "cooking temperature" will depend on the cooking pot or pan you are using, and the efficiency of that pot or pan at conducting heat from the burner to the food you are actually cooking (rather than radiating it out into the kitchen). So, if the actual cooking temperature is of vital importance to you, then it is best to use a thermometer to check the food temperature, rather than the burner temperatures.
