what is maximum cook time
876724
Increments of 30 minutes and up to 20 hours. Once the time has expired the crockpot will turn to a warm setting for only6 hours.

Up to 20 hrs count down/up timer, then up to 6 hrs on keep warm setting. After 6 hrs on keep warm, the unit turns itself automatically. (a great feature, in my opinion)

The instruction manual states that you can program in 30 minute increments up to 20 hours. Hope this is helpful.Kathy

20 hours. you also have the option to sent the warmer to the amount of time you want to hold something.

The heating plate cycles off and on with a maximum temperature around 212°. The maximum temperature of the food container will be less than the heating element, however if the food container (and food) has reached the maximum temperature it will be too hot to handle with bare hands.

Depends on the size of the pieces. I would say at least 3 filets of catfidh. Just a guess tho.they will cook quite fast tho

I use it more like a heat level setting 10 being the highest. Meaning 10 heat up food the fastest.

The only preset temp is 300 degrees which will appear when you push the on-off button. Then you can select your cooking temp by pressing the plus or minus button repeatedly. Temp will increase in 25 degree increments until reaching max of 425 degrees.

Yes there is a range of cooking temps. I have not used the highest temp setting as of yet to do any cooking.

Isn't this the most wonderful dessert? "Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes." I have doubled the recipe and cooked it for 4 minutes, stirred and cooked for 4 minutes. It worked just fine. THANK YOU for asking this question. I have one more old box and had not read the new box. I will now cut the back off the old box and save it! Callie

The maximum food length (from the instruction manual) is 9". The manual also states that 'large food items like roasts and slabs of bacon' need to be cut into smaller pieces before slicing.

The bake, convection, broil, and warm settings can be set for up to 2 hours. The toast and probe settings cannot be timed.

Yes. Two simple ways are to:1. Press the "Add 30 Sec" button. Each press adds 30 seconds. 2. Press the "Cooking Menu" button and then select "Cook by Time". You can then rotate the knob to select the amount of time.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

5 minutes max. Be careful you can burn them if you have the heat up to high

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

The timer is set by default for 2 hours. That's the max time you can cook unattended. I don't think it's meant for slow cooking.

I cook 6 butts, all of the time, in 2 cookers. I did a test on the cooking temps, and time, years ago, and found that the cooker reached max temp. ( 390*) after 2hr 15 min. Then the temp fell quickly from there. I add a 1/2 load of fresh coals after 2 hrs. to keep the temp. high, for a nice char finish. 3 butts never take more than 3 1/2 hrs. this way.

It doesnt seem possible from the instruction booklet but if you have taken the trouble to put the question up here, you should take the trouble to call Hamilton Beach at 800-851-8900. I am sure they can tell you if there is a way to do it (this has a 14 hr cooking limit but it seems to start immediately I havent seen a way to defer start time but I am home when I cook and I am not particularly sophisticated with electronics).

You bet. Three settings. Low, medium and high. I have cooked mostly on medium.
