How long does it take to cook a meal such as chili.
1194440
When we do road trips we usually prepare our meal for lunch and after travelling for two hours or less you can actually start getting the aroma from the crock pot and by lunch it is very well ready to serve. Our meals usually consist of boneless meat especially chicken with oyster and chilli sauce with some veggies such as carrots, onion and garlic. One more thing that we do is cover the mouth of the pot with tin foil and then securing with the lid. Hope I have answered your questions and given you some tips.

It takes approxi one hour to cook most anything. We were happy with ours until after nearly one year the plug burnt out and we could not replace it, we looked everywhere, so we had to dispose of the cooker, though it still worked great.

sorry ermm chili, isn't that nor a wee hot veg.? the idea of these things is to cock as slow as you possbliely can even if it was a 240v one, so that your meal is tender and juicey I wouldn't be with out mine. In fact I am thinking of buy another so that if my stops working for some reson I will nor be without one I LOVE it best thing I ever bought

It depends how many cups of rice you have to cook. More rice will take longer to cook. Normally it took me 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

I bought this for my parents. They say their food stays hot 20-30 minutes depending on the plate used, they use polishstone ware plates which is very heavy & they say about 20 minutes. They do heat in a little longer than the directions says. Hope this helps.

I start my rice first when making dinner. I add butter and boullion cubes to the water for flavor, either beef or chicken. The average time is about 25 minutes.

I concur with the answers below and just want to add, I LOVE THESE POTS. I have two of them and they have been wonderful. Caution: they cook must FASTER then conventional pots. IOW, sauces that used to take 10+ minutes to make now take about 5-7 minutes.

Depends on what you're cooking, but most of the time yes. Not a big deal though. Yesterday I cooked a rock solid frozen 2 inch NY strip steak to perfect restaurant quality medium rare in a little more than 30 minutes. The thing really works...

The steam time depends on the item and the voltage if your microwave. I do broccoli in 3min. And fish 10 or until opaque...

The rice cooks in around 25 minutes. But I usually end up with a "crust" on the bottom of the rice.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

Lol. I have no idea. I know that I cooked dry black beans in 31 minutes. They were actually a bit over cooked.

Just an update - I have cooked garbanzo beans and pinto beans in the rice cooker. I soaked the garbanzo beans for 8 hours and then slow cooked them for two. A half cup of pinto beans took a little longer - I think around 2 1/2 hours. They came out great! Give it a shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You might call CrockPot to check, as this is basically a small slow-cooker, and we use those to cook raw meats in all the time, with the caveat that it takes perhaps 6-10 hours to do so on the low setting. The company can tell you exactly how it works in this instance, as it is surely a safety issue they need to tell consumers about to avoid illness.

It's relatively quick between and hour to an hour and a half. I've left food in there as long as 4 hrs and it didn't do any more than warm the food. It really is handy

It takes 9 to 10 miinutes to cook the omelets. We usually make two at a time and they turn out great. Hope this helps.

It depends on how long you cook your items. I usually get 5-7 uses at 10-12 minutes each, so about an hour +/- 10 minutes.

On this crockpot there is a dial. You can set it to cook in as little as 30 minutes if you really want to, or you can turn it all the way up to leave on all day.

I cook mine much like rice - two parts water, one part dal, simmer for 10-15 minutes.
