What temperature does the slow cook function operate at? And is it equivalent to "low" or "high" slow cooker setting?

Aroma APC-990 6-Qt Digital Pressure Cooker - One button provides the "slow cook" function which in my experience is equivalent to "low" on a conventional slow cooker (instruction manual does not indicate operating temperature). When the cycle completes, the unit goes into a "warm" mode. Be sure to leave the steam vent open when using this function.

No, keep in mind slow cookers settings are either low or high. Low setting will cook food in 6-8 hours. High will cook in less time, 3-5 hours. This particular slow cooker has a warm setting, will keep food warm once cooked. Will automatically turn off after 2 hours. 5 quart also means no more than 4.5 quart. I hope this helps you. Regards

Well I've never checked the temperature with anything. I usually have it set on 350 and just assume that's the temperature it's at. It cooks everything I've put in it very well at that setting that's all I can tell you.

It has three settings: high, medium, and low. It doesn't specify a temperature but if you follow a recipe that tells which setting and the amount of time (which all slow cooker recipes do), it will come out perfect. I've been very impressed.

I own one of these. There is no way to tell internal ambient temperature or the temp of the meat. Just low, medium and high on the dial. It's just like a crockpot.

At the end of cooking time,the slow cooker will automatically switch to WARM setting,but the knob will NOT automatically rotate to WARM.Cook time plus warm time cannot exceed 14 hours. When the unit switches to WARM, the display will show how much time is remaining of the 14 hours.

It has different settings. It also serves as a slow cooker with other features involving degrees. This is a very nice item. We use it for a lot of family functions.

I have not had that problem. You call customer service. Cooking on high means cooking in less time, slow means cooking longer at 8-12 hours. Also can check your recipe. Is the recipe meant for a 6.5 quart, not a 4.5 quart. Hope this helps.

absolutely you can slow cook, they have medium low and high heats selections, i use medium for the all day slow cooking and when i come in I check it and turn it to low so it keeps but does not overcook.

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

I have not used it as a slow cooker yet but I have read of people using it as such. The highest setting is warm so I'm not quite sure if it would get hot enough to completely cook meat (unless you let it cook in it ALL DAY but a side dish would probably be fine. I've only used it to keep things warm so far such as dips and taco meat. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance on this.

I checked with Proctor-Silex and they said High is around 210Low is around 190 and warm is around 160. We love our little slow cooker. Mainly we use it for dips and small side dishes.

The crock pot is set at either low or high depending on the length of time it will be cooking. For a shorter time (4 to 6 hours), the heat will be on high. For a longer time (8 to 10 hours), the heat will be low. After the pot has cooked for the set length of time, it automatically switches to "warm" for 1 hour. You cannot set the temperature other than by choosing a short or long cooking time.

The only information we are given is the label on the appliance: low, high, yogurt. They don't give specific temperatures. I imagine the first two correspond to a simple slow cooker. Uncertain of the third.

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.

I have not used this item as a crock pot (slow cooker). I use it for warming food that has been prepared previously. I have found that the temperature control can easily be set too high. If you are careful with this setting it should work quite well. A trial and error method will work for you if you have the patience and product to experiment in this manner.
