Does the burner shut off if pan is left on too long?

Yes. And it will shut off automatically. Not sure if temperature or time thing, but if you're cooking for long periods of time, you definitely have to watch it.

I have used it on a small burner...I do get a "hot-spot". To mitigate the problem, I move the pan slowly in a circle over the burner, to widen the hot spot. That worked well for me.The fact that the pan retains heat well works to our advantage here.Hope this helps.

As noted by others it does shut itself off when the timer runs down. The problem with mine is that the "ding" stopped working awhile ago so sometimes I don't KNOW that it is finished cooking until I look at it and see that it has indeed turned itself off.

No, it shuts off automatically after two hours, then you have to push the on button to off and then back on for it to start heating again. A safety feature as it gets pretty hot on the high setting.

No, when unplugged it'll shut off the hot pot. After water boiled, it will change to warm mode to maintain the same temp until it's used up.

Yes. To cook you have to put the amount of time in. It shuts off when the time is up.

when a pan is removed the unit turns off instantly and will beep about 4 times, for maybe 6 or 8 seconds total. If the pan is returned during this time cooking continues. If the pan doesn't return, the unit turns itself off and would have to be reset.

when making toast on the toast setting it shuts off. for regular baking/broiling the unit does not automatically shut off. I usually set the timer and a second timing to make sure I don't leave it on by mistake.

Unit shuts off when pan is full or humidity level is reached. That includes the fa.

Yes!!!!! I don't turn on all the burners. It does burn hot, just takes some time figuring it out.

It will go off but you can keep it hot by resetting but not starting to boil again.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

unfortunately no, but mine doesn't shut off unless it's not getting sound through it after awhile. But I guess it's good in away so it doesn't burn out from being on for too long

This Couble Burner does not have an auto shut off. We recommend when not in use, unplug unit to assure that it is off.

Definitely yes. One precaution is not to turn the burner on to full heat with an empty pan. It's our favorite large pan.
