Can you set the length of time you want food to cook and will it then turn off to warm?

No, this is not a programmable unit. This model has 3 settings - High, Low and Warm. The settings must be selected manually and the unit will remain on until you turn it off.

You can set the cooking time in 30 minute increments up to 10 hrs. When the time is up, it will go to warming temp. and will stay in warming mode for up to (I believe) 8 hours. That keeps the food at a safe temp. You just want to make sure the food doesn't overcook.

No, keep in mind slow cookers settings are either low or high. Low setting will cook food in 6-8 hours. High will cook in less time, 3-5 hours. This particular slow cooker has a warm setting, will keep food warm once cooked. Will automatically turn off after 2 hours. 5 quart also means no more than 4.5 quart. I hope this helps you. Regards

I think you can have it cook later. I have not used that function yet, so to be honest, not quit sure how that works. Sorry

There is no limit of cooking time. It does have some electronic issues. I sent one back and thought the second went out too but it come back on. Keeping my fingers crossed!

No, the timer is preset. No fancy option to change. And I'd be careful with purchasing this. Our stopped working after just a few weeks.

There's no auto-timer, so you can't set it for a certain number of cook time hours; you have to be physically present to turn it between settings.

There's no timer for this slow cooker. Cook food on either Low or High, set your cooking time and it starts to cook. When it's done, it will go to warm.

Does it shut off after a certain time or can you make the waffle cook a little longer?

You can add a timer at your wall socket. I don't use one though. I adjust my heat so I don't overdo the food.

You can program in the time you want it to cook and it will automatically turn off. Nothing that's plugged in is completely safe but I do leave the house while it's cooking. I just love this product!

it stays on warm setting until you turn it off manually. it is not a very hot setting, just the temp that you would want your food for immediate eating.

There is not a timer that will start later. Only set how many hours you want the items to cook and then it will go to warm. I have not had problems with this as most of my items cool between 5-7 hours. You can extend the time by cooking it on low rather than high if that is a concern

No, after you set the temperature (high or low) you enter the amount of time you want it to cook, between 30 minutes and 20 hrs, after which time it will automatically go to "warm" temp. But you cannot set it to start later in the day than when you first turn it on.

You can program it to cook for a certain length of time but it doesn't have a delayed start feature.

No you can't, but if you are going to gone for 10 hours, and only need 8 hours of cooking, you can start cooker,and after 8 hours it will go to warm for up to 8 hours. I don't know of any slow cooker that has a start timer feature.

My impression is that you can set it to turn on later, but I have to admit that I haven't used that feature. Wish I could be of more help! I'm convinced it's really mostly meant as a pressure cooker, which it does well, but if I use the "crock pot" feature again, it will only be to keep a pre-cooked and hot food warm. Still worth buying, though - not scary like cheap pressure cookers, and you don't have to monitor the temperature, plus lid on/off easy and seal very easy to clean
