Are the heating elements for this crock-pot around the sides or just on the bottom?

The elements are just on the bottom. However, the sides will get hot when it's on so you will want to use the handles if you need to move it.

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

To my knowledge, NO. There is a stainless steel heating element inside the pot. Oh, the black bottom that the pot sits on is probably plastic (pvc?) I use it daily. It takes no time to heat up.

The heating element is with the blade. The bottom part is just a container that you can immerse in water. The top part has all the electronics and heating element and cleaning this part is really simple since the only dirty part is the plate and a few drops of splashed soy milk on the plastic. Also, there are marks on the bottom container to show how far you should fill it with water.

it is even and flat.. I have had problems with the heating element working blacking out.. we removed the bottom and cleaned it a couple time and it works better for a while.. great for browning and making large meals..

The heating element doesn't appear to be exposed at all on the bottom. All that I can see is a metal tube running up the inside of the kettle along the handle. I'm not sure if that's the heating element or something else.

I'm not sure; the crock does, but I didn't touch the outer shell. I keep a glass counter saver under the crock pot, so that is not a concern of mine.

The sides and top get quite warm . Ours sits on the counter near other appliances and the stove. Sometimes we put the butter dish on top in the morning to sofen the butter. Don't find it a problem.

Perforations are on the bottom as well as the sides. I love this steamer. I use it more than any other pan well worth the money!

Yea this has a heating element on the bottom too. When you bake they both come on, broil only top one and so on.

Well I simply place the sensor over the side of the slow cooker about 3" in and it doesn't touch the bottom or sides. I hope this helps.

I have 2 Russel Hobbs and both are Plastic sides with a Stainless steel base (only)for the heat element in the bottom.

I know it says to put the liner on the bottom rack. I did not!! I placed it on the bottom of the oven itself. My heating element is not visible - but even if it were I would slide the liner under it. It seems to be working just fine.

I ask the very same question when I received my crock pot but this is normal! Unlike the old version of crock pots that we are use to this one has heating elments all around the crock insert to allow even cooking! The lid allows steam to escape so you are left with perfect dishes everything! I have made all kinds of things in mine and have never had any issues..I'm still in love!

Cord is attached at bottom but the base of the crockpot is notched to allow it to sit flat. I have not had any issues with the cord location

A little hard to describe, but I'll try. There is not a flat bottom, but the bottom is not pinched and sealed, the sides are. I only use these in our crockpots. They are perfect for even the biggest oval ones. You open it like a giant sandwich bag and spread it open and over the sides. Never tuck it in the between the crock and outside. I did that one time, too hot. Just drape it on the outside. LOVE these! I never had one rip at the side seams. Saves so much clean-up!
