can this timer be use with a crock pot to turn it off.

Set an on time and an off time it should work fine. I use mine for hot curlers so they're ready when I wake up but turn off in an hour if I oversleep.

Sorry, I don't know. I am using it to turn a light on and off. It is easy to work. I've had some that are difficult.

A decal on the side of the timer has a 10 A and 1000 watt limit. Since I don't cook with a crock pot you would have to check its owners manual to see what it draws.

Theoretically it should turn off any electrical appliance but I'm not sure I would trust this one to work more than a lamp.

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.

I do not believe a timer would work with this item.When it comes back on after losing power it stays in the off position.

I sent this Crock Pot back, but if I remember you can only set it for 12 hours and you would have to keep resetting it. I don't think there is a crock pot that you can set over 12 hours. So if you don't mind resetting it, your can do it.

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.

Someone suggested using a timer. You can't use a timer with electronic controls (even if it has a manual setting). The timer will only allow or prevent power getting to the unit. However, with electronic controls, someone has to program and push the buttons, while the unit has power. If you set the program and then turn the unit off via a timer, the programming will be lost and the pot will do nothing when the timer turns on.

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.

Yes, if you turn it on for manual operations with the timer disabled, you can easily turn it off or turn it back to "timer" mode.

I would not expect it to change the setting automatically unless there is a timing mechanism, which I believe it doesn't have. Some do have timers but are more expensive. That said, the heat is sufficiently low on most crockpots that the food wouldn't burn or overcook. For typical crockpot recipes, it would not be a problem if the cooker went over the suggested time, especially if it's cooking on the low (not keep warm, but low) temperature.

buy a timer at any hardware/discount store or amazon and plug crock pot in to it. this one is digital so probably wont work, buy a crock pot with a manual dial and a timer if you want a delayed start. They make 2 different types of timers...lamp and appliance i would recommend the appliance timer.

No, if you disconnect power you must manually turn it on. Cannot use it with an external timer.

No. This slow cooker is manual, so it must be physically turned on and off.

Yes. it worked fine with timer. You can preset the cooking end time that means program will start much earlier than end (ready) time.

The crock pot will turn off. I've lost 2 meals to power outages in the neighborhood. I've basically gone back to my old crock pot with a knob because I know I can trust it.

Probably not. This Timer has six ON/OFF settings per day and some other DAY/WEEK stuff. One Minute ON/OFF (six times) a day is about as close as you get. Your need sounds like a Hydroponic Fluid Pump or something. Get a Timer Circuit (with Output Relay) from an Electronics Supply house.

I see this question all the time. While this Crock-Pot will move to warm when your set cook time is done, you can not set when it will start. I don't know that any slow cooker will do that because it's a health risk. To do so would mean food is left sitting out without refrigeration or heat for a period of time, just waiting for the Crock-Pot to turn on. That's time for unappealing things to happen to your food, and perhaps to you. I just set mine to the low temp for a longer cooking time, knowing it will kick over to warm when that's done.

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.
