Is this only a warmer or can it be a slow cooker too?

Warmer only for precooked foods only, and even then the crocks may only be on for four hours max per manufacturer.

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.

I have only used it to keep dips warm and don't feel the size of the crock pots lends itself to doing more than that... If you want something to use as a slow cooker, my sister-in-law got one that is a little larger (the three crock pots are oval) and I'm pretty sure it would work well.

I would say just a warmer - it says to only put things in it that are already cooked.

I'm not totally sure, but I have only used it as a warmer. It can get things pretty warm (dips) but I'm not sure how it would work for things that are not cooked prior.

It can be a slow cooker, but due to its small size I have never used it in that aspect. Definitely worth the price. I have used mine for triple chocolate fondue, cheese fondue, Mexican night (beans, cheese and meat) etc.

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.

If it did, it was just a few (I have had my original crock pot recipe book for 35 years...). You can use any slow cooker recipe. Found tons on the internet. However, this one runs a little hotter than my old ones. It does have a "keep warm" option on it. I'm really happy with it.

I've used mine as a slow cooker, stove top cooker, and oven. It's one of my favorite appliances (and I've tried MANY during the last 29+ years of marriage.) I've had great results with it and am getting ready to buy a second one for my 23yo son who LOVED the spaghetti and meatballs I made in mine.

I am sorry, I don't know the answer. I only use this as a warmer for parties. I only use my large old crock pot for cooking.

Yes, after the time designated on the timer is reached, the slow cooker automatically switches to warm.

It's not. Slow cookers are highly insulated and this is thin metal. It's a speed cooker, if anything.

Just use it in place of the regular lid. It can be used for any food that does not have to be pressure cooked, so slow cooking is fine. I have a new slow cooker which has a lid similar to this and it also has a small hole in the lid. Both work just fine. An added benefit is the glass lid allows you to view the food and it allows you to remove the lid quickly if you have to add a recipe ingredient towards the end of cooking as some recipes require.

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.

It is also has the flexibility of a slow cooker, or you can steam vegetables or meat with it. Read the included recipe book for ideas.

Yes, it can be used for both things, aince it is a slow cooker. The quart capacity is unknown though. I hope this helps you.

I have not used this item as a crock pot (slow cooker). I use it for warming food that has been prepared previously. I have found that the temperature control can easily be set too high. If you are careful with this setting it should work quite well. A trial and error method will work for you if you have the patience and product to experiment in this manner.

It serves in the role of multiple appliances because it isn't just a slow cooker, it's a pressure cooker and a steamer. It has a built-in searing function for searing prior to either of those functions so you don't need to sear on stove top separately and get an additional pan dirty.
