I don't have the answer. I had the same problem with this Crock Pot and I hated it. I just bought another crock pot and I love that one.

It is cooking if the pot is hot. It is slow cooking so for chicken you need to start at least 5 hours before I like to cook the first 2 hrs on high and then on low for the next 4-6 hrs

It takes quite a bit of time to get the food hot. You are supposedly not to remove the lid during cooking, as it really slows it down. If everything was cold when you put it in, I think you should just wait a little longer.

You'll need some nice utensils...you can't remove the pan from the unit to stir or the current is broken so you'll need to leave the pan stationary and stir with a utensil....also water boils super fast especially if its covered so keep an eye on it. It really is like a better cook top.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

Probably over exposure; try turning the rack upside down or decreasing cook time; some times I wrapped the vegies in aluminum foil but to close to the heat source or too much cook time is probably the problem

Short answer...och! touched it. That might not be the answer you would like to hear but you know it's working. I have several different brands of Roasters and cookers. This one is the only one without a idiot light on it. It also bothered me at first but heck, most things I put in it takes a few hours or longer to cook and you are just looking at the light. If it was my fish or pancake fryer the light is handy so I know it's up to temp but a roster, it's all slow cooking. If you are using the roaster as a steamer with a water bath in the bottom it takes me little over 20 mins to heat the water up to temp.

I have a 1230w microwave and heat it on high. I've only tried baking one potato inside the bag (it doesn't seem to be big enough for four). Another thing I do that works well, is after washing the potato (do not dry it), I wrap it in a damp paper towel and put them both in the bag. When the 4 minutes is up, you'll see steam, but the potato comes out nice and soft and ready to eat.

You have to experiment. On some I have cut the cooking time in half. I would not buy this again.

We cooked a 23 lbs bird last year. Go by the cookers direction on time. The cooker says to go by the birds cooking time but our bird was done as per the cookers instruction about 3 to 3.5 hours. Be careful too the outside gets very hot to the touch. The bigger bird requires aluminum foil between the bird and the sides to keep from burning to wings

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

sounds like your heat is to high. I set mine at 5 out of 10 on an 1100 watt micro for 15min let sit for 5 min in micro then take out oven vent for 5 min before I open to serv

Your going to have to re-season/blacken it. Fill it with oil, preferably animal fat, and put it in a 500 degree oven for about three hours or over a fire pit.

At the begning the of cooking the temp will be high and After it makes noise and the yellow button raise u have to lower the tepm! Make sure after the yellow button raise u must and u have to lower the temp otherwise it will explode at ur face!!!! Make sure never open it after cooking untill the yellow button goes completly down !

I do whole potatoes in under 30 min. But I would not recommend doing to much else it will end up shooting out the air pressure hole. Making huge mess and possibly screwing up the whole machine

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.

My wife and I just cooked it tonight. We have had the same question but have cooked the chicken first...almost thoroughly before adding the paste, butter, and water. We then simmer in a covered pan for about 15 minutes and feel safe that everything is cooked well but not overcooked. We don't turn up the heat at the end as suggested but I'm sure that would be fine to do.

I have no problem getting tender meats I put water or broth in with meat and pretty much cook on high (5) for at least 5 hours. Meat is falling apart. �
