How long can the cooker be set on low? Also once the cooking time has been met does the cooker default to warm? thank you

Well, this cooker does not have a timer and does shut off intermittently when desired/set temperature is reached. There also is no default as the temperature is set using the dialpad. (200 to 425 degrees). It is notable that this cooker is not as deep as a crock pot/ slow cooker and tends to cook at a hotter, drier heat. It does NOT work like a crock pot. Hope this helps.

This is not a "programmed cooker", as some slow cookers are. You set the temperature and you set the time. Easy as that. HOWEVER, be aware that, despite a claim of a five year warranty, no one that I am aware of has ever been successful in getting the purported warranty honored. Rather, the warrantor uses initials, so as not to have to disclose its true name, and, consistent therewith, uses a Post Office Box, so as not to have to disclose a street address. Nonetheless, the product is a quality product, but, with daily use, it may eventually break down, as the first one I had did, after approximately nine months of heavy use. The warrantor expected that I pay for shipping the return to it, assuming that the warrantor even existed, and, in addition, expected that I also pay for return shipping, which I refused to do. The result was that, having paid the outbound shipping charges only, I never received a replacement. Whether or not I would have, had I also paid for return shipping, is questionable, based on numerous complaints about the warrantor which are reported online and retrievable via Google.

I'm sorry I cannot help you with this question. I gave this cooker as a gift and have never used it myself.

This model has three settings - Low, High and Warm. Both the low and the high settings on the slow cooker will cook at about 209 degrees F. These two settings, however, will cycle differently which will cause the high setting to prepare food faster. The warm setting on a slow cooker is around 165 degrees F.

At the end of cooking time,the slow cooker will automatically switch to WARM setting,but the knob will NOT automatically rotate to WARM.Cook time plus warm time cannot exceed 14 hours. When the unit switches to WARM, the display will show how much time is remaining of the 14 hours.

You might call CrockPot to check, as this is basically a small slow-cooker, and we use those to cook raw meats in all the time, with the caveat that it takes perhaps 6-10 hours to do so on the low setting. The company can tell you exactly how it works in this instance, as it is surely a safety issue they need to tell consumers about to avoid illness.

Depends what you mean by "quickly". It works fast enough for me and if you read the included instructions, it is easy to use and is low priced. Unlike many cookers, you can set this one to cook for longer that four hours.

I don't use the default settings, but rather use times recommended in instruction booklet. When I've encountered undercooked product, I just add a few more minutes manually. I've noticed differences in degree cooked, tho using same type of bean, from one product name to the other; also notice differences with changes of ambient temp & humidity. Be sure you're using amount of water recommended in the instruction booklet, and don't forget to add the oil... Hope this helps.

On this crockpot there is a dial. You can set it to cook in as little as 30 minutes if you really want to, or you can turn it all the way up to leave on all day.

I've had it set for up to 60 minutes. I don't receommend you have it on for that long except under the lowest settings.

Unfortunately not. However, this cooker will drop down to just "warm" heat/temp after the cooking time ends. This decreases the likelihood of over cooking. I have used mine many times when I exceeding my set cooking time and still had a great meal without overlooked results.

There is no limit of cooking time. It does have some electronic issues. I sent one back and thought the second went out too but it come back on. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes, the slow cooker has a timer that can be set to any time you like - once that time is reached, it automatically switches to the "warm" setting.

My impression is that you can set it to turn on later, but I have to admit that I haven't used that feature. Wish I could be of more help! I'm convinced it's really mostly meant as a pressure cooker, which it does well, but if I use the "crock pot" feature again, it will only be to keep a pre-cooked and hot food warm. Still worth buying, though - not scary like cheap pressure cookers, and you don't have to monitor the temperature, plus lid on/off easy and seal very easy to clean

I dont have any experience with this cooker as I use mine on my mini wsm but have heard a lot of people getting about 8 hours. Depends on your setup though.

Jwv''s answer is correct. Cook time is described accrately in the response. I do not know of any time setting for start of cooking.It is a dandy little cooker. Wouldn't change it if I could.

Press the On/Off button to turn it on. Then press the "Cook Time" button, and hold it down until it shows the time you want (It goes up in one-hour increments). If you cook for just a few hours (under 6, I think), it cooks on high. If you cook longer, it cooks on low.

It has settings for high, low and warm. I usually cook meat on low with the timer and then it goes to warm. I have done soup in it as well reucing the time before it goes to warm.

There are temperature settings you can set if you use it in "oven" mode. There are also low, high, and keep warm settings if you want to use it like a crockpot.
