Could this be used on meat in a slow'cooker?

Yes, I would say it's a very good idea to. Never have myself as I don't use one much, I've usually used my slow cooker for stews and chili.

I don't own this one yet but if u have a hole in the lid of your slow cooker it should fit, that's what I did with my old one.

The problem I see is that the cord of the thermometer would would create a gap that would allow a lot of moisture/steam to escape the slow cooker. A regular oven has a flexible gasket like seal that allows the cord to extend out.

You can but you won't get a complete seal from the slow cooker if you leave the probe in.

I think so. I use it from groceries or once for beer and it carried a case of beer and ice so I would imagine a slow cooker should be good. For sure if doubled.

I don't see why not as this is a slow cooker with 4 heat settings and a removable 4 qt multi level pot.

I have no idea, but I would hesitate to use them in the freezer. OTOH, if you tried it with a small amount, as someone else said, all you'd have to do is wash your slow cooker.

I believe neither of those options would be wise or healthy for the crock. Better to warm the slow cooker in advance of what you wish to cook, with an amount of water in it.

My sister and I both have one, and she was sitting right next to me when your question arrived. We both agreed that this would be perfect in that situation. You can set it on slow cooker function and it will keep warm or turn off when it is done.

I use a smooth top electric range, and have had all successes with evenly browned meat! It heats quickly, nd you don't lose the good bits in the bottom when you brown the meat, because you put it back onto the slow cooker! As with any recipe, you just need o keep your eye on it.

I don't know. I have never used it in a crock pot. I've only used it in a roasting pan in order to keep a roast from laying in the drippings. I don't know what use it would be in a crock pot - even if it were the right size to hold the rack.

Nope. If you've used a slow cooker before, just know that you are going to cut most recipes in half. I use mine for making steel cut oatmeal (it's ready for the two of us when we wake up). I also have a slow-cooker taco meat recipe (found online) and I make one pound of meat instead of the two pounds the recipe calls for. I love not having to clean out my huge slow cooker. This little one is perfect!

Using frozen meat is unsafe due to the meat being susceptible to bacteria. Slow cookers will not heat fast enough to keep the meat in the "safe" temperature cooking zone. You need to thaw the meat (in your refrigerator!) before slow cooking it.

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.

This works just like a slow cooker except that it is clay lined. You could certainly make broth with it but you may have to restart it.

I think you can, but would have to fit in and cook slowly with supervision. It's not a slow cooker

I have never tried slow cooker recipes with this product. I have stuck with the recommended use of the tender cooker, The functions are not the same.

Yes, it can be used as an ordinary slow cooker. But the temp settings are easier to control.

Honestly, since this doesn't really expand much I will put this in my soups when I use my slow cooker. Casseroles when I am baking. I've even added it to my rice in a rice cooker. You just have to make sure it is in liquid to soften up. Hope this helps.

I have not used it as a slow cooker yet but I have read of people using it as such. The highest setting is warm so I'm not quite sure if it would get hot enough to completely cook meat (unless you let it cook in it ALL DAY but a side dish would probably be fine. I've only used it to keep things warm so far such as dips and taco meat. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance on this.
