Is it 12 hours of cooking time or "keep warm" time? is there an option for high or low temperature?

I'm not sure what you mean by 12 hours. I've had smoe trouble over cooking things, because I couldn't find a way to reduce the heat. I thought it was supposed to be a slow cooker, but I find things going at a hard boil. I was advised to turn it to warm to reduce the heat. It's not really clear.

Once the rice cooks, you can leave it plugged in, and it will keep warm for up to 12 hours - white rice usually cooks in 20 mins and brown rice in 40 mins. There are different options for cooking rice, soups etc but there is no option for high or low

Not sure to what you are referring to in regard to the "12 hours". From my experience the unit always goes to a very low heat warming cycle after any chosen cooking cycle and only stops when cancelled (this includes when you set the cooking cycle for a preset time to start). I do not believe that any of the units I have provide a cooking cycle of 12 hours. Let me know if you have any further details in regard to your question.

Cookign time. I don't believe there's a programmable keep warm time. When cooking rice, if you don't manually stop it when it beeps, the timer will start to increment, it's hard to tell if it is 10 min overcook is 10 min unercook if you were not there when the timer was 0.

There's a setting called "stew". Its default is set to 4 hours. Can be set in 30 minute increments up to 12 hours. It's the slow cooking mode but the cooking efficiency is 50% higher so you'll need to experiment a little. After the cooking time it automatically switches to a 12 hour Warm Cycle.

I never cook with time. Always internal temp. Google cooked pork temp(165F I think).

No you can't switch it to warm, I don't think they are designed to do that, the 'warm' function goes on after your set time is done. I love this crock pot my meals come out perfect! Good Luck!

It has settings for high, low and warm. I usually cook meat on low with the timer and then it goes to warm. I have done soup in it as well reucing the time before it goes to warm.

Yes. You can program a preheat time (from off, or 1 to 30 minutes); the knead time (off, or one to 30 minutes); Rise #1 (from 1 min up to 24 hours), then there will be a brief 'punch down', another Rise #2 (off, or 1 to 2 hours), another punch down and a Rise #3 (again, either off or one to 2 hours), then "bake" (off, or one to 70 minutes). The Keep Warm setting will come on after that. There are three different individual programmable programs you can create and save.

Jwv''s answer is correct. Cook time is described accrately in the response. I do not know of any time setting for start of cooking.It is a dandy little cooker. Wouldn't change it if I could.

I think 24 hrs would be a bit long. I have run mine for 16 hrs with some recipes.

For me it has been three hours. You can use the rapid bake which reduces to 1 hours , there is instructions in your book, but I have not tried it yet. I have not found a way to extend longer

Depends on a lot of things. The pan I use will stay at about 120° on the lowest setting if I stir the food continuously.

I would say it's more like four to six hours, even on the lowest setting; this is of course dependent on the size and amounts of whatever protein you're cooking. You could use an outlet timer to help with this; I would also add if you filled the cooker all the way (which I haven't), then a longer cooking time might be achieved. This would result in a large amount of food, however, as the cooker is fairly large.

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.

Should keep warm for at least 30 minutes. We use ours to keep food warm on camping trips.

I don't know for certain. However many receipes call for cooking time of 25 minutes or more on the high setting.

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

I agree with Maureen M's answer. We use ours a lot and really like it. Our microwave has a baked potato setting but I usually need to add a minute or 2 of time - depending upon the size and # of potatoes.

Yes, you can set how long you want your rice to stay warm. They do not reccommend keeping rice warm for more than 12 hours.

Automatically...no. You would have to switch it to low manually. The "cook time" setting will only work on either "high" or "low", and then switch to "keep warm".
