A:AnswerYes, it turns off automatically.. However it keeps food warm so it is ready to serve when you get home... Food does not burn. I was concerned about leaving it on but No Problem -
Works great !! Love it !!
A:AnswerThank you for your question. The slow cooker does not work like an oven, as it slowly rises in temperature to cook over a longer period of time. The temperatures for each setting are High: 200-225°F Low: 180-200°F Keep Warm: 165°F.
A:AnswerIt doesn't step down the cooking but it will cook at the set level (high or low) for the desired amount of time and then switches to Keep Warm. You can also cook using the probe and it will modify itself as needed.
A:AnswerNo, unfortunately you cannot choose a time to start or end, just set the number of hours to cook, Hi or Lo, and when it shuts off, it keeps the food warm.
A:AnswerI just got this crockpot and I want to turn off the hours mode!!!I had beans cooking and wanted to cook them longer than 10hrs and it shut off after the 10hrs!!!! and wasnt even on warm…Luckily when I got home later I had enough time to kick them back on again..I dont like the HOURS part of the crockpot..I may want to cook something longer than 10hrs!
A:AnswerI have not had a problem at all with this crockpot burning things. However, I have not cooked mashed potatoes in mine, so I can’t speak to that particular issue. On a side note, I do not like using the crock pot bags. I feel that it messes with the heat process once the crockpot is on the warm setting. I use the baking nonstick spray and it leaves no mess! I’m sorry I couldn’t answer your question about the mashed potatoes, but I hope the part about me not having any problems with burning food helped.
A:AnswerI accidently pulled the plug while using the vacuuming with the same outlet. When I noticed it was like 10 minutes later and was like, "Oh No"! Immediately plugged it back in and started right back on time. Haven't had a long delay but was impressed with the feature when it happened.
A:AnswerThank you for your question. The vent hole in the lid remains open when probe not in use. The outside of this unit is stainless steel and will include a ceramic crock insert.
