Yes you can cook about anything a regular crockpot will cook just smaller portions.

No the lid actually fits really tight, this is the best pot for slow cooking I have ever owned. I very seldom ever pull out the crockpot anymore. You won't be sorry if you are looking for the perfect slow cooker, this is the one. At least it is for me. Sláinte.

I believe neither of those options would be wise or healthy for the crock. Better to warm the slow cooker in advance of what you wish to cook, with an amount of water in it.

This is really not a slow cooker or (crock pot) it actually cooks fast. It is like the big roasters you might use to roast a turkey, but the right size for a large chicken. Roasts turn out wonderful, but you wouldn't want to put one on in the morning before work like in a slow cooker though. Think of it like a small oven or roaster. My favorite thing to do is put a whole frozen chicken (4-5lbs) in the roaster with salt pepper and whatever favorite seasonings, set the temp at 350 and in 1hr and 15 min it is moist tender and delicious very close to the rotisserie chicken you get at the store. I use mine at least 3-4 times a week. This is really not a slow cooker or (crock pot) it actually cooks fast.

You could use it as a regular slow cooker, but it may be harder to control the true temperature. I use mine mainly for heating things that will be eaten soon, such as vegetables, or just as a warmer for other items. It's very handy for the holiday's!

The only drawback not mentioned below (leftovers) is that you would need to clean the crock pot before putting in more food to slow cook. The outside of the crock pot needs to be dry before it is put back into the cooker. Recipes? Really?

The cooker has a digital timer and you can set it for so many hours to suit yourself,, 1, 2, hours etc and then it goes to warm.It is not like the old crock pots where if you turn it on you don't have a choice of time.. When you pressure cook the timer is set in minutes. I love mine,,,use it all the time...pressure cooking and crock pot ,,,Great investment for the Real Cook.. Even bought one for my daughter for Christmas and she uses hers all the time also.

Yes it does, but I have to admit I felt the same way as you do til I started using it. It is very sturdy coating. Not like the cheap non stick pan coating. It has been very durable as you would find in the higher priced non stick pans and clean up is so easy, no scrubbing involved at all. I yet to have even the slightest scratch on the coating and I have used the slow cooker once to twice a week since I have received it. Hope this helps you.

No. It doesn't work like an oven. And any slow cooker recipe will specify to cook on low, medium or high for a specific amount of hours.

There's a recipe site called RecipeGoldmine that has a section for Crockpots and a sub category called Crockettes that has recipes for small slow cookers like this. I think you'll like it.

The Crock-Pot SCVT640 PS 6-1/2 quart automatically goes to warm when the cook time is done. That is one thing I really like about this slow cooker.

No, but you can plug it in to a timer plugged into an outlet (like for lights) and it works perfectly! I put stuff in my crockpot in the fridge overnight so its really cold, then set the timer to come on (most I've ever had it wait was 2-3 hours). This is a great crockpot - heat level is right and I love that it switches to warm when your stuff is done.

Yes it is . The crock pot cooks much faster than a regular crock pot and it works great. I am on my second one.

It does not work like a thermos. It works like a regular crockpot, only it doesn't get as hot. Only re-heats food, won't keep things cold.
