Does the 2 quart crockpot also have the 'warm' setting? I couldn't find it in the product image. The size is perfect; wishing it has 'warm'!

No. But the 3 quart has a warm setting. If you are looking for something that will give you 2 quarts, I would get the 3 quart crock pot anyway because that is all you will get. It is still very small. The 3 quart only fits barely 2 quarts if you follow instructions. You are only to fill it 3/4 but even if you fill it to the top without overflowing, you get 2.5 to 2.75 quarts. 3/4 of that is around 2 quarts. I returned my 3 quart because I wanted at least 3 quarts so I guess I will have to buy a 4 or 5 quart crockpot. Hope that helps.

No, and as I recall it said that when i ordered mine. Just has High, Low and off, which is fine with me, I do use it often and love the convenience of having breakfast or dinner ready when I need them! Hope this helped you

I plug it in around 9am and by 11:30 the contents are perfectly warm. I have also left it plugged in longer without over drying the contents. I love this little crock.

Absolutely!! Works great! I have always put in foods that are left overs, and canned soups. I get to work by 8:00 and its always warm by 12:00. Though, one time I forgot to turn it on, so I realized it by 11:00, and at 12:30 the food was well warmed. I love this crock pot!

Haven't bothered to put a thermometer in the unit but it has the typical all-position selection. After cooking a meal we have set it on a low setting and it functioned well at keeping the meal warm. I don't know if I would trust using it as a crock pot unless I were home to monitor its behavior.

The 'warm' setting barely keeps already warm food warm. The 'low' setting has a bit more heat ... which can be used for overnight slow cooking. The 'high' setting heats up the crocks fairly quickly, which I find useful for directly heating up canned veggies etc. just prior to a buffet dinner. Also, unlike the unit mentioned by Cynthia, the base of the Nostalgia unit remains cool to the touch regardless of what heat setting it's on.

No. That is another reason why I find a crock pot more satisfactory. Basically the warm setting is good but if you want to heat the wax more quickly you can use the low setting. I have not tried any higher setting with the crock pot. There is also no off button on the Therabatch so you have to pull the plug if you want it off.

yes it does not get as hot as other slow cookers on each setting. The high setting is what the low setting is on other brands.

I've only used it to reheat stews, chili, soups, etc. It gets pretty hot, but I don't know if I would cook in it. My big crock pot has a warm, low, and high setting. This little pot just has one temp, so it would be hard to control, and the portions would be small, so it would be a pain. I'd stick to a big recipe in a large crock pot and take individual servings in the small one.

The Crock-Pot is just a warmer that holds 20 ounces of food. It doesn't cook anything. I hope this helps.

Last night I put oatmeal ingredients in, programmed it to steam for ten minutes at midnight, after which it switched to warm mode until I turned it off in the morning (I didn't see any way to use the delay function to go directly to warm mode). This morning it's just like the oatmeal I make over night in the crock pot.

If you mean the actual pan that the food cooks in, YES! I love this cooker because it is so versatile. The insert is also easy to clean and much lighter than the traditional crockpot ceramic insert. I loved my crockpot, but had a terrible time lifting that heavy ceramic bowl out to clean it. The heat is easy to regulate on this cooker, but it does cook things a tad hotter than my old crockpot. Perhaps because the insert is metal rather than crockery.

No you cannot actually set it for a different time, however when the time it is set for is over it goes to "warm" for an additional 4 hours or until turned off. I have used the crockpot numerous time and love it!!

No, it does not shift to warm automatically. That would be a fantastic addition, but I am very happy with this crockpot.

This Crock-Pot goes to warm automatically. That should actually solve your problem. If you insist on a start time you should go with a "Standard" CP with simple High/low controls and use a plug in type timer.

Altho I've never taken food off stove and put into cooker on "Warm," it certainly works because you can set to any one of the 6 settings. If you cook from the beginning in the cooker and run out of time...the cooker automatically sets itself to the "Warm" setting for a period of time. I'm told the "Buffet" is just slightly warmer than the "Warm," but I don't know exactly what the difference is. I would think the "Buffet" setting is for your purposes to keep food warm while it's still being served. Just be sure to monitor all this so that excessive "warming" and holding food will not result in food spoilage.
