can i use it to cook on ? or just warm up food

This appliance is for keeping foods warmed during serving--not for cooking.

It really doesn't get hot enough to actually cook on. It is meant not to cook-since cooking on Shabbat is forbidden.

It is for warming up food. I would assume that if you left the tray on all night, you could slow cook a stew/cholent, but I have never tried it. I suggest you call the manufacturer. I don't remember how hot the tray gets. It is a very good warming tray.

Just to warm up food. It does not get hot enough to cook on. It is made for sabbath observant Jews to heat up food without it actually cooking more.

We ordered one for Pesach last year and were very unhappy with the barely warm and sometimes cool food that was warmed on the tray for hours. It is beautful and feels like good quality. I am a very picky customer though as a Chef and cooking teacher/kosher website creator. www.fitcarvings.com and www.delciousandkosher.com. It is made out of glass, looks gorgeous and barey peforms. I wish yuo the best...I foudn one locally that loks kind of junky and heats up wonderfully from my Kosher market.

Halachically speaking, it is used to keep food warm, it is not for cooking on. The food is prepared prior to the Sabbath and left on the warming tray to keep it warm.

It is only warm enough to heat cooked food. It is not designed to cook food.

I think it's just for warming. I never tried to cook, but I don't think that it gets hot enough.

You can use it either way. It will cook with microwaves alone or convection alone or a combination of both.

yes you can warm up fridge stuff. Add a cup or so of either water or broth to whatever you are warming up though.Crock pots need the liquid to work properly, otherwise food will dry out and burn while heating.

I have only used this to heat up cooked food...it does heat up perfectly without hot spots. I heat up oatmeal, pasta, fish, eggs, rice, and vegetables....

You can use it on the stove top up to medium heat. If you want higher temperatures I would heat the liquids separately and then add to the dish > It can be used on an electric hot plate again at medium heat.

No you can't switch it to warm, I don't think they are designed to do that, the 'warm' function goes on after your set time is done. I love this crock pot my meals come out perfect! Good Luck!

I don't think it's suitable for use anywhere. It doesn't get hot enough to really cook anything. Meat comes out looking like it was microwaved instead of cooked on a barbecue.

Yes you can cook with it set to " Stay On" with out using the timer. To turn off just turn knob back to " 0" on timer setting.

You can cook at any temperature. I've cook soup in this. I've also done long term deep frying of Chinese pretzels

You can only use the easy bake stuff. I never tried anything else but I wouldn't chance it. They make the easy bake stuff so you just have to add water. You don't know if it will cook right with the temperature if the light. Hope this helps.

I don't see why you couldn't but it actually doesn't need to be warmed up. It works best at room temperature

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

I never thought of doing that but that is certainly a possibility. I think as long as you don't use it to heat up your food in it, it wouldn't be a problem. As long as it's clean and washed well you should be okay.

This is why I bought this product. You can indeed sear with it. Returning it to the warming unit and proceed with whatever it is you want to cook. So I can highly recommend it and it being 7QT it works get for large crowds. Happy Cooking.

My impression is that you can set it to turn on later, but I have to admit that I haven't used that feature. Wish I could be of more help! I'm convinced it's really mostly meant as a pressure cooker, which it does well, but if I use the "crock pot" feature again, it will only be to keep a pre-cooked and hot food warm. Still worth buying, though - not scary like cheap pressure cookers, and you don't have to monitor the temperature, plus lid on/off easy and seal very easy to clean
