- How does the programmable timer work?
- You set a cook time on high or low, and when it ends the cooker switches to keep-warm automatically. That lets you start a meal in the morning and eat it later.
- Is 7 quarts too big for two people?
- It is large for two, but it suits cooking once and eating leftovers. Smaller 3- to 4-quart models fit couples better.
- Can I put the stoneware in the oven or on the stove?
- The stoneware insert is for the slow cooker base, not the stovetop. Check the manual before using it in the oven, since some inserts are oven-safe and others are not.
- How is it different from a pressure cooker?
- It cooks slowly over hours rather than under pressure in minutes. You get all-day braises and beans with no pressure-release steps, but no fast cooking or browning.
- Does it have a browning or sauté function?
- No. This model slow cooks and keeps warm only, so brown meat in a skillet first if you want that flavor.
- What comes in the box?
- The slow cooker base, the 7-quart stoneware insert and a glass lid. Check the listing for any extras such as a serving spoon or recipe guide.
