Is there a delay start feature - like you have it all programmed, but you want it to start cooking 2 hours after you leave the house?

yes there is a delay start function. This is truly a great little appliance well worth the money.

There is a timer for up to 2 hours and then it will shut off. If you don't use the timer you would set the cooking temperature to a low value and you check the stock as it simmers. Saying that, we have not used it for more than an hour or so at one time but I don't see why you couldn't use it for a longer time.From the manual "The timer is an optional function. You can either choose one of the preprogrammed times or you can use the Cooktop without setting a time.We have had the Cooktop for almost 2 months and so far are very pleased with it's operation.

Yes it has a timer. It can be set for 30 minute increments. For example; start cooking two hours from now.

Yes. To cook you have to put the amount of time in. It shuts off when the time is up.

Yes, its programable for delay brewing. The automatic 1 hr. shut off is not; it just automatically shuts off after being on for 1 hr.

using a separate timer WILL NOT WORK. a separate timer kills power, no power no program. no program, no cooking. you have to press a button to start it so a separate timer is useless ALSO put ice in it It will keep food from spoling and make your meat juicy. this HAS NO time, but the spoiled food concept can be outsmarted with icecubes

You can add a timer at your wall socket. I don't use one though. I adjust my heat so I don't overdo the food.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

No you can't, but if you are going to gone for 10 hours, and only need 8 hours of cooking, you can start cooker,and after 8 hours it will go to warm for up to 8 hours. I don't know of any slow cooker that has a start timer feature.

Cookign time. I don't believe there's a programmable keep warm time. When cooking rice, if you don't manually stop it when it beeps, the timer will start to increment, it's hard to tell if it is 10 min overcook is 10 min unercook if you were not there when the timer was 0.

I don't know if there is a delay start - I haven't had a need for that, and don't think I'd want raw food sitting in the crockpot for any amount of time if it wasn't cooking. The nice thing about this crockpot is that it automatically switches to warm at the end of the cook time, so I don't overcook my meal if I can't get to it in time.

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

I checked the manual and the crockpot itself, and I can't honestly answer your question. I'm pretty sure you can't program it to come on at a certain time. You can set it to how long you want it to run. I've only used it once so far, and I was there to turn it off when it was done. I would imagine when the time runs out it shuts off, but I can't say that for sure. Sorry I don't really have answers for you.

You can program in the time you want it to cook and it will automatically turn off. Nothing that's plugged in is completely safe but I do leave the house while it's cooking. I just love this product!

It has a programable on and off menue. Ours comes on at 6L00 a.m. every morning. Also, it has a program that will allow you to set it to go off automatically after two hours. East on and off switch in the back too.

No, after you set the temperature (high or low) you enter the amount of time you want it to cook, between 30 minutes and 20 hrs, after which time it will automatically go to "warm" temp. But you cannot set it to start later in the day than when you first turn it on.

Hi old MK, yes this oven has a timer that you have to use on all the bake cycles, but it goes up to 2 hours. I like the auto shut off & chose this cuz it had it, but I understand how that could be a pain!!! Still, it's a great oven! Hope this answers your question!! Let me know if I can help any more. Lucia
