Anybody tried this with a crockpot? Thank you :)

it will work I just don't know the timing.I use a Instant Pot on the Rice setting - then I leave it for at least 20 minutes.Amazing stuff but it's too expensive here.

Sure! I use it with a giant covered saute pan instead of a crockpot. I have had it on for as long as 12 hours at a stretch.

In my experience no. I have used in two different crock pots and one has a tendency to run hot and even with that I have not had any melting. They are a little thicker than the Reynolds brand and I think that helps. When I have cooked on high setting it has usually been 5-6 hours and then turned to warm.

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.

you can use a crock pot and mix the solution per directions. BUT, once you use this crock pot, you can not use it again for Food. Please remember this. hope this helps you

Hamilton Beach website would have the best answer. The top couldn't take the higher heat at it has a rubber gasket. Don't think oven to liner for the crockpot would be a problem but you would have to wait a while for it to cool down enough to hold the lid. So best bet go to the website for their answer.

We have used the 3qt pot to reheat leftover stew. If you put something in it in the morning and want it warm by dinner, I'd use the 'warm' switch. If you need to warm it up in a couple hours, I suppose you can use high, but I've never used it for a quick warm up. It has a high, low and warm switch on it, so I'm sure you could adjust it to work in your favor. Regardless, we have enjoyed this size of crock-pot.

I would not waste my time with it. We just tossed it in the trash and purchased a completely different crockpot.

Interesting question! I do not think I would do this. The instructions that come with the rice cooker do not address using this for long term cooking. Would stick with a crock pot for a stew. Crock pots have thicker sides and would hold the heat better, I would think.

I have not used this item as a crock pot (slow cooker). I use it for warming food that has been prepared previously. I have found that the temperature control can easily be set too high. If you are careful with this setting it should work quite well. A trial and error method will work for you if you have the patience and product to experiment in this manner.

I don't have the answer. I had the same problem with this Crock Pot and I hated it. I just bought another crock pot and I love that one.

The Crock-Pot is just a warmer that holds 20 ounces of food. It doesn't cook anything. I hope this helps.

Hi, Debbie. That is interesting. I pretty much abuse my crockpot using these liners and I haven't had any cracks. I use a Rival Crockpot Stoneware Slow Cooker, if that helps any. Sorry. I wish I could help.

We have alot of parties and use it at least once a week for 6-8 hrs at a time so I think it would work fine commercially. I would buy the actual CrockPot version as this is the 2nd one they sent me. The feet constantly fall off making it teeter which is dangerous especially if children are around. Mine heats up fast and stays hot.

Yes, it gets pretty warm. You will need a pot holder to lift the lid after the food has cooked so long. I also wish this crockpot had a warming or warm selection rather than just high or low. Sometimes even low is too hot after the food is cooked but once it's turned off, the food doesn't stay warm for long.

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 love my crock pot. It has cooked evenly every time for me. I have used it at least once a week for the last 1/2 year. It has a hole to allow steam to escape. It takes some time to get heated, but once its hot, it is very hot!
