If you were to unplug the pot at "cook", then plug it in again, will it heat up to "cook" again or do you first have to press a button?

In the "cook" position (button down, red light on) if it is unplugged and then plugged in it will cook until the cut off temperature is reached.

When the cooker is plugged into the outlet, the cooker is in the warm/heat mnode. There is one button that is depressed to change from warm to cook. i haven't had a power outrage while cooking, so i can't answer the question and my cooker is in storage so i can't do a test. my guess would be that it would go to the warm position, so that you would have to press the button again,.

No; it shuts off like a crock pot; it remains on but in a warming-mode, not a cooking-mode. As an example, I make oatmeal in it every morning. 1 cup water, 1/2 cup oats. I set it to 10 minutes, and it takes a couple of minutes to reach a cooking temperature and start, and then it cooks for 10 minutes, makes an audible beep, shuts the cooking off and switches to warming mode. If I wanted to open it right away, I would release the pressure by rotating the dial at the top to do so...or I could wait a couple of minutes and the pressure would decrease anyway. I have used this to cook raw (but soaked) beans in 20 minutes, vegetables, rice, and some combinations of meats and other things. It is also nice in that you can set it, go run errands or do other things, and come back irrespective of time and the food is cooked. Using the oatmeal as an example, I have returned over 30 minutes after the oatmeal was cooked to find it cooked, and kept warm - and prepared as I liked it.

It does easily remove but I think it is not intended to stay plugged in when not in use.For the duration of cooking it is fine -no complaints here. You will see that the clock has a battery and you will not lose its setting when unplugged. I love this cooker.

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!

Mine did that too . . . Until I discovered the cord was not plugged tight enough into the pot. ;-)

YES! There is a "warm" button on the unit and you simply press it and the warmer comes on. Everytime you pick up the pot, the warmer shuts off, so you'll have to keep pushing the button. I pour my first cup and then hit the button when I put the pot back down. You can do this continuously.

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

Start over. Simple as that. Cancel. Don't open. Don't try. Start again. I rarely use the pre-set menus - just set the time. If you have used a pressure cooker before - the same applies. Only you have to notice and make adjustments for time between say the stove-top - and this one. I like this one because once you get it down - you can set it and walk away.

I never unplug mine. It has a button on the side you push to start the brewing and it shuts off when brewing is done.

No, it comes on when you plug it in, and turns on and off with a built in thermostat. You have to unplug it to stop the the cooking cycle!

No. You hold the switch down until it reaches the desired temperature then let go. It will start to cool down gradually so to heat up again you just hold the switch again. I hold until it gets hot, hot and then release & it stays warm for about 20 mins.

No you must unplug it. It is the greatest little maker. We bought 2 of them.

I am not sure what happens once you remove it. It either has battery to hold settings or everything shots off. It is in my mom home and i am not sure she uses any feature of it besides just boiling water. I may check if remember when next time I am there.

Sure you can turn it on again and it will heat up. I would turn it off asap to prevent burning or just make another smll or at dinner.

Run this quick test - set your crockpot up on High temp, then unplug it, then plug it back in - is it still working, or do you have to reprogram it? If it retained the setting, then you're good to go! If you have to reset it, it won't work. The temp controller for the sous vide cycles the power on and off to maintain the temp you preset, so your crockpot needs to be able to maintain its setting each time the power cycles. I wanted to use my controller with my non-digital crockpot, but couldn't - because it's the type that has three different sized crock inserts, and when you first turn it on, you have to push a button corresponding with the size of the crock insert you're using. It won't maintain that setting through a power cycle. I did, however, find that my roaster oven and my small crockpot would both work with it.

Leave it in. When reheating, just take the pot off the burner before it boils and percs again. By the way, the reheated second cup is just as good (or better) than the first cup.
