If the power went off and then came back on--would this resume cooking or shut off? (My digital crock pot shuts off, my manual one comes back on.)

According to the manual, when the power comes back on, the clock will read "OFF" (as if one just plugged it in) and does not restart.

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 plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

Hi,I used to have the same problem.Surprisingly, if the breadmaker is left connected to the power between the bakes this what happens.If it is disconnected, and reconnected to the power for the next bake, everything works.Although it has the start/stop button, it does not have the same effect as a real power off.

Did this event already occur to you? It has not to me. However, if the surge created from all of your power coming on at once did not short out your device, then it should power back on automatically. Personally, I usually unplug all important devices when the power goes off.

I would not expect it to change the setting automatically unless there is a timing mechanism, which I believe it doesn't have. Some do have timers but are more expensive. That said, the heat is sufficiently low on most crockpots that the food wouldn't burn or overcook. For typical crockpot recipes, it would not be a problem if the cooker went over the suggested time, especially if it's cooking on the low (not keep warm, but low) temperature.

The cooker has a digital timer and you can set it for so many hours to suit yourself,, 1, 2, hours etc and then it goes to warm.It is not like the old crock pots where if you turn it on you don't have a choice of time.. When you pressure cook the timer is set in minutes. I love mine,,,use it all the time...pressure cooking and crock pot ,,,Great investment for the Real Cook.. Even bought one for my daughter for Christmas and she uses hers all the time also.

the pause in cooking generally means that it has reached the temperature and turns off the lights, however they will come on again as needed for cooking. If you have selected one of the presets, hit start, pause it and want to start again. Double check and make sure you have the handle all of the way down. If it is up, it will not work. If that doesn't work, unplug for a few seconds and plug it back in, select the preset you want again, and it should work fine.

The range of temperatures, went from zero to 450, as i recall. However, that was when you could get the darn thing to actually turn on. Push the on button, nine out of ten times, it would finally come on. Once I got the browning done, and set it for it's cooking level, I would leave to go work in my home office, come back to the kitchen to find it had turned itself off...without using the timer. Bottom line, the last time I found a pot full of uncooked stew, I trashed it.

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.

I have found that the unit will automatically restart, but it will not save your settings. You will need to re-program F/C and the temperature after a power interruption. I have been pretty happy with our unit thus far. -DA

Yes, it's a mechanical power switch not digital so it resumes after restored power.

mine did that once I unplugged then ran through the steps again, power on, select food type and it started working. if you are cooking multiple items where you are pulling food off and putting more food back on the grill you have to shut the power off then power back on select food and let it go through the pre-heat stage again. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is no on or off switch. As long as the circuit breaker is on, it should restart after power is restored.

Instead of unplugging it, plug it into an appliance timer. Set the timer to shut off at the desired time if you aren't going to be home to unplug it. I do this with my crockpot to turn on early or mid afternoon. just be sure to set the setting on the appliance to any non-off setting.

Yes it does. Once it goes off you can't turn it back on; you must make a fresh pot.
