Is it normal for the new ones boil so quickly? Old one on low use to be ideal to go to work for 8 hrs, new one cooks in 2-3 hours - too hot/too fast.

Typical cook time for Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers to reach simmer point is 209°F:Low: 7-8 hours to reach the simmer pointHigh: 3-4 hours to reach the simmer point

Doesn't sound right. Should not boil so quickly. Even on high it takes a while to get up to temp.

This one cooks like the old slow cookers. I can cook my chili on high for 7-8 hrs

Yes. I'm experiencing that as well. I nerd to babysit it which kinda defeats setting and forgetting it.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

Mine automatically goes to keep warm, as you said, so perhaps you will need to have it replaced. It only boils for about 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

Ours was brand new and is still working fantastic after well over a year of service. We use it at least 4-5 times a week. The quick cook setting works perfect if your in a hurry as well, but generally we use the standard setting.

This is not common. I have had one for about a year and it works well. The only problem is that the slow cooker function operates at to low a heat about 180 deg. It takes forever to cook anything using this function.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

Hi. I have never overshot the cooking time. There is also a "1 minute" button that I use more often. So if I need 4 minutes, I just press that button 4 times. I almost never use the knob actually.

I don't recall getting cooking times with mine. I usually do 2 mins then check. Not very scientific but I haven't burnt anything.

You are better at reading directions than I am. I always use high heat to bring water to boil. Have used this way for 10 months without any problems. However, I immediately take kettle off burner when it reaches boiling.I imagine that using a lower setting to boil will probably make it last somewhat longer.

Hi Deborah, as I said in my review the full kettle set to the highest temperature takes 6 minutes to come to a full boil. Lesser amounts of water or lower temperature settings will take a shorter time. I don't know if geographic location is an issue for you. I am located about in the middle of the United States.Judy

I have not noticed the temperature difference that you describe, However, I haven't cooked anything that would take over 30 to 45 minutes. Sorry, I am not alot of help.

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

The directions say to bring the water to medium boil, then boil for 15-20 minutes. It also says to put them in cloth so they don't burn against the pot. I throw mine in a pillow case. If they turn solid again as they cool, you didn't do it hot enough for long enough. Try again.

I never timed it, but it's 1000w, while many are 1500 watts.. The fastest I've seen just for heating water is to buy an induction burner and a separate pot. If you are looking for speed specifically, it's a 1000w, and the temp setting I believe cycles on and off so it doesn't overshoot the setting. Both these flow things up a little. It probably is slightly slower, then the pour is slow too because of the little spout.. HOWEVER, I find the convenience of the accurate temp control trumps a slightly slower boil time, because its ready when you are. But if you are not specifically wanting the skinney spout for pour over coffee, or using for those tiny tea pots, get the regular spout. .

No reason at all that I can see. I've heated water, milk and broth. I've also heated light soups like chicken and noodles. I do recommend if you're making something other than water that you wash it or at least rinse it as soon as you've finished heating. As for the heating time noted by flipspiceland, I haven't noticed that. Perhaps they don't have the temperature turned all the way up. Since I'm mostly boiling and using that's where I keep it and it never takes more than a couple minutes to boil. Of course the more liquid the longer it will take, but even with 4 cups of water it probably took less than 6 minutes. No reason at all that I can see. I've heated water, milk and broth.

I lovemy cook top when it worked - I have been trying to Fagor to repair mine for over a year - worse customer service I have ever seen. Simmer would be a lower setting, just so the liquid is still bubbleing a little bit. I would only preheat pan for eggs about 15 - 20 seconds on a medium to med-high setting as the pan get hot quickly. The products cooks great and heats quickly (if it is working). Trial and error will get you there I really loved the conducton cooking but am frustrated with Fagor - hope your never breaks.

The reservoir must be filled and on for at least 1/2 hour before use. The cold water you pour in when brewing a new pot is not used for that brewing cycle. The hot water already in the reservoir is used and the water you just poured goes to the reservoir to be heated. You can't make a second pot for 15 minutes or so. The water will not have had time to heat.I have had this brewer for several years and the reservoir has been on continuously with no problems.For the initial use, it is important that you follow the directions in the manual.
