Is there a way for this cooker to not work on a timer? Sometimes I cook meals on a low or medium setting for more than 10 hours...

I haven't had my slow cooker long, but I do not believe you can use it without the timer.

The time is a 'countdown' only. you would need to start it before you leave and set it for the number of hours you want it to cook. It will shut off when the timer is done. I did leave mine cooking a pot roast all day while I was out. No problems. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I really don't know, since I haven't timed mine. I am usually busy working around the house. Why don't you try calling customer service for the egg cooker.

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.

It has settings for high, low and warm. I usually cook meat on low with the timer and then it goes to warm. I have done soup in it as well reucing the time before it goes to warm.

There's no auto-timer, so you can't set it for a certain number of cook time hours; you have to be physically present to turn it between settings.

I'm not an expert with this, but I find that timer settings are important. What I mean is that if a cycle was stopped and not reset that could have an effect. Everything has to be in place within the appliance for it to work properly. It's following the instructions and if that doesn't work, call the company. Good luck. I'm enjoying mine.

The problem I had with this cooker, which relates to the above question, is that it doesn't have a low enough temperature. I'd slow cook on low, and the stuff would be boiled to mush in an hour. I suspect the same thing happened with the burned roast. This cooker doesn't go low enough. I like the suggestion of browning and then cooking the rest of the way on low, but that's still pretty hot. Something needs to keep the bottom of the pan, where I assume the temp gauge is, thinking there are no cool spots.

When you use the timer it turns off automatically. You probably used the "on" position not the timer.

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.

Hello, I personally have never used low settings to cook. I am sorry I couldn't tell you if it can be used as a slow cooker.

There's no timer for this slow cooker. Cook food on either Low or High, set your cooking time and it starts to cook. When it's done, it will go to warm.

You can manually set the timer for other recipes. I personally have only made beans and rice using the manual settings. But I see no reason why it would not work for other items.

Yes, if you set the knob on the right to low or high and the knob on the left to whatever length of time you want the food to cook (in full and half hour increments only), once that time is up, it will automatically switch to warm. The knobs don't move (the timer one is a setting, it doesn't move like a clock) but the cook light goes off and the warm light comes on once the time is up.

I have noticed that a lot of manual timers, need to be turned past a certain point in order to "ring" at the end of the time. If u don't turn it past 10 it might not ring loud enough when time is up.

I bought it because of the same review. Compared to my previous slow cooker...medium on the new one corresponded to my low and high is high. The low setting is very low. For instance I can put bean soup on the night before and it can go all night and most of the day on low and I still have to move it to medium for a few hours. Hope this helps

I dont have any experience with this cooker as I use mine on my mini wsm but have heard a lot of people getting about 8 hours. Depends on your setup though.
