Yes! Look into getting the Instant Pot brand - the insert is stainless steel and NOT ceramic or clay or non-stick coated -- just 304 food grade stainless so there is NOTHING leaching into your food. Finally!

Sounds like this cooker has a "coating" on the ceramic bowl; not so sure this is a good idea either. Most non-stick coatings are unhealthy.

The ceramic bowl is NOT coated with a non-stick coating, like teflon or silverstone, but rather the glaze that ALL crocks and ceramic has on its surface and which keeps food, liquids or cleaning solutions from leaching into the bowl itself. The customer service rep was confirming it is not a lead-containing glaze. Have you seen the actual product? 'Not sure why you think there would be an issue, but maybe you could be more specific.

Go to Google and type in exactly what you want and you may find it there through a link. I never use my crock pot so if you can't find one I may sell you mine.

I e-mailed the distributor and explained the problem of having something that I couldn't use and they e-mailed me not only the directions but recipes. It's easy to use once you know what you have. Hope you have as much success as I did. I use it very often and really like the convenience and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen. I live on the desert so hate anything that adds heat. Good luck

Slow cookers can't have a delayed start because it's not safe to leave raw meat sitting unrefrigerated for any significant period of time. The only way you could do a delayed start would be to plug it into a timer, but I wouldn't trust it.

No, I have tried everywhere to find one. I bought a complete cooker on ebay ($53.00) and when it arrived the inner crock pot was broken into many pieces couldn't get the seller the make it right so now I need the pot also.

If it did, it was just a few (I have had my original crock pot recipe book for 35 years...). You can use any slow cooker recipe. Found tons on the internet. However, this one runs a little hotter than my old ones. It does have a "keep warm" option on it. I'm really happy with it.

That's a very good question, you might get on Emeril's web site and see if you can request one, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal the booklet, it wasn't all that great. I would imagine Emeril has cook books with many more recipes than the booklet which comes packaged with the slow cooker. Good luck "bon appetit"

http://www.crock-pot.com/slow-cookers/classic-slow-cookers/crock-pot-manual-slow-cooker-silver/SCR300-SS.html Manufacturers website, the recipe book that comes with it is nothing more then several cheap recipes, and a parts list, the website can probably send you one if you need it.

As the man once said = "Try it, you'll like it!" I have used my Hamilton Beach 7-qt. slow cooker MANY times since I purchased it. I really DO likeit and would recommend it to anyone that wants to prepare food without a lot of trouble. Don B. (unsolicited)

This item is actually a crockpot not a slow cooker. Usually a removable insert makes it a crockpot.

You need a slow cooker with MANUAL controls. I must tell you I returned my unit and instead I purchased the Anova unit, because it has a water circulator and can be used with any pot.

I doubt you can preset a cooking time.Since I never had this need I never really looked for It but,I do believe that Is not an option.Just to be sure, I looked Into the manual and It's a definite no.Engineering fell asleep on that one. A preset timer Is a must with slow cookers.I guess they didn't think It was needed but It's a no on that one for sure.So long. :)

Liners only come in one size......large. You can use it in any slow cooker. Seems like it should come in different sizes, but they don't. I even used 2 of them for 2 different meals at the same time when I was going away for a week and trying to think of things to leave hubby to eat. I wouldn't cook a crockpot anything without one.

You may want to contact the maufacturer directly. There may be a customer service number on the booklet that came with the slow cooker or possibly on the box itself.

Yes it's lead free. You can not find any trace of lead in this pot, because you're not cooking in the outter layer of the pot. There's an inside pot that drop inside of it and it's lead free.
