It states the only settings are low, med, high. Don't these cookers have specific temperatures to set to, like an oven? (never owned one before)

As you stated, the setting are OFF, Warm, Low and High. High is used for faster cooking at higher temps taking a few hours off the Low setting time. Low is used for longer cooking times at lower temperatures. But the unit is excellent. you won't go wrong with the Hamilton Beach.

No. It doesn't work like an oven. And any slow cooker recipe will specify to cook on low, medium or high for a specific amount of hours.

This cooker has four settings high, low, keep warm and off. It works great for soups, casseroles and to slow cook most anything. I'm very happy with mine.

If you mean the temp selections, this one has low, high and warm. Some of the crockpots don't have warm. I like that option. Hope this helps.

im not a chef but i dont think so, they do have a heat setting you can adjust, ive set mine at 180 and it still boils water, but that is because the size of the container you are cooking in, a great big pot it may work just fine, but u should watch this thing and not leave it unattended, try a slow cooker for that.

There is a temperature dial with low medium and high and its really easy to use the coolest setting would be low that what u would.turn the dial to.

I no longer have this unit although I am looking forward to purchasing another one--it got damaged in a recent move. I don't recall being able to set it to a specific temperature. From my recollection I believe you could set it from low to high or a range in between based on a dial but it never turns the unit off and on I don't believe, it just adjusts the radiant heat feature. I am responding from memory so I could be wrong.

Yes there is a range of cooking temps. I have not used the highest temp setting as of yet to do any cooking.

The cooker has two settings, controlled only by the heat from your stove. The high and low setting are two indicater lines.

I can't give a temperature but I have cooked just about everything on mine with no problems. I also have a 4 burner for large parties and I can't say it works any better other than hold more. I love this one so far.

it has a wide range of temps, from warm 180f, 250f, 350f, 450f, & 500f, it also a steam setting, white rice, & brown rice setting, I really enjoy this cooker, I also use it for tamales to keep them warm during family get togethers, just set them in the basket and click warm...

No, keep in mind slow cookers settings are either low or high. Low setting will cook food in 6-8 hours. High will cook in less time, 3-5 hours. This particular slow cooker has a warm setting, will keep food warm once cooked. Will automatically turn off after 2 hours. 5 quart also means no more than 4.5 quart. I hope this helps you. Regards

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

Sorry. I haven't tried to slow cook. When on low flame, I have noticed that the temperature is in the 350 degree range.

It has three settings: high, medium, and low. It doesn't specify a temperature but if you follow a recipe that tells which setting and the amount of time (which all slow cooker recipes do), it will come out perfect. I've been very impressed.

Well I've never checked the temperature with anything. I usually have it set on 350 and just assume that's the temperature it's at. It cooks everything I've put in it very well at that setting that's all I can tell you.

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.

Unfortunately, it's not like an oven where the temperature is controlled by a thermostat. You get options from low to high and that's it. Your best bet is to get a decent infrared thermometer and keep an eye on it. Or just practice with it and get use to how the unit cooks. It takes a bit of practice, but you really shouldn't expect much for something under $100.

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.
