I have a very small kitchen - I need a space where I can plug in a slow cooker and leave it on while at work. Will this do the trick?

Yes. You'll have plenty of room for the slow cooker and the table is sturdy. But before setting down the slow cooker, push down on the table top to make sure it's locked in place and balanced for your particular floor. Hope that helps.

Betsy, The table is sturdy enough for your cooker, since it is all wood it would handle the weightThis is not a flimsey typical tv tray. Hope this helps

Yes this table is made of all wood and is very sturdy and stable will hold your cooker no problem

I don't know how much room you actually have in your kitchen, Look at the dimensions given for the table and maybe use a tape measure to compare it for your kitchen. That said, these tables are made of heavy wood so pretty study. You might want to put something on the table to offset the heat from the cooker.

yes since the table is made of all wood and is quite sturdy and stable it should be no problem to hold your cooker

Betsy, I would think a regular TV tray would work, but if you want something a little bigger and your slow cooker isn't too heavy, yes. This is a wonderful table but I wouldn't want to put anything very heavy on it.

I got mine to use as an ironing station next to my sewing machine so I could easily press quilt blocks without having to race back and forth to the ironing board. Seems like it should work ok.

It's really depends on food, how long you will slow cook by recipes. Remember, the temperature will reduce gradually --- due to this is a Non-Electric Thermal Slow Cooker. However, it does save energy and good for potluck (keep warm).

Yes, it can be used as an ordinary slow cooker. But the temp settings are easier to control.

Dear Nina Athanasakos,Thank you for your recent inquiry. You can use the Elite 1.5 Quart Mini Slow Cooker to make anything that you would with any other slow cooker, as long as it fits. We hope this information has been helpful.

Yes, I believe so. The inner pan is more or less a dutch oven pan. You don't even have to use the slow cooker if you choose not to because you can completely cook the food in the inner pan on your stove top.

In theory it could replace a slow cooker but because there is slow heat loss from the top, I doubt whether it can keep the heat for a long period of time (say 8+ hours). The other problem is that the food must be hot when you put it in the cooking basic (and I mean all the way through). Most of my cooking is in the less than 3 hour range. So if you completely heat the food before putting it in, then it could replace a slow cooker. I found that at home a slow cooker is easier and mostly use mine when I'm camping.

This is not an electric skillet, it is a slow cooker and a good one. Get the deep fat fryer or the electric skillet for what you are looking for.

Thanks for asking and yes it is a very large pressure cooker which make it so nice for cutting down time and is a slow cooker (there again time is sometimes essential). Also is a pressure cooker for small jobs such as canning small amounts of leftovers. Would probably do a small turkey. Very nice indeed! Is good for large amounts and easy to clean. If you get one I hope you enjoy using it for lots of things.

Yes, the slow cooker has a timer that can be set to any time you like - once that time is reached, it automatically switches to the "warm" setting.

You should not fill it with liquid more than 2/3 of the capacity. Like any other slow cooker. You can leave it on the level of cooking as long as you want. There is no timer on it. If you are not home to switch it to warm, it will continue to cook until you turn it to warm or off.

That is going to depend on the size of your lunch bag. It fits in mine with some space left for additional items. You can leave the main part of the crock-pot at work and only bring the inside back and forth. The inside is much smaller. It heats in about 30-45 min while I continue working at my desk. I love mine.

absolutely, I often make 3 different meals for the week. I love this slow cooker. I am planning on using it again on Thanksgiving, cooking 3 different menu items. good luck and be happy

I have never tried to use the cooker in the way you describe. In my opinion, the machine is not designed or intended to be used as a slow cooker for an extended length of time. For such an application, you would be better off with an appliance designed for slow cooking such as a crock pot. I would not leave the BergHoff unattended for a long period of time, especially when temperature control is important. Glen

As it is thin guage metal, it will flex in the middle. An electric skillet would spread the load over a larger portion and might be ok, I would think a crock pot would be a lot of weight in a small area. One option would be to place a cutting board under the crock pot, and that would solve your problem. Over-all we love out cover, really dresses up the stove.

This Crock-Pot goes to warm automatically. That should actually solve your problem. If you insist on a start time you should go with a "Standard" CP with simple High/low controls and use a plug in type timer.

Check the recipe book that comes with the Slow Cooker. This is not a programmable unit. There are many helpful suggestions for all kinds of wonderful things.

I took a look at my Dork Food specifications and it states that my unit is 120V AC both input output and with max 15 Amps. As an aside it works like a charm. If you decide on this unit I would suggest you get the largest slow cooker you can find. That was my only draw back. You will find that you will want to do larger items or multiple items and you just won't have the capacity. If you still are interested in the Dork use a small aquarium vibrator pump and air stone to keep the water circulating. I finally went to the PolyScience circulator and heat which is a quantum leap and just about perfect. $240 discounted.
