Does the programmable mean it has a timer to set as to when to start cooking?

I would think you could plug it into a generic timer and the timer will turn on the slow cooker when you set it to do so.

It does not. I was hoping to find a slow cooker with a delayed start feature, but that may not exist. This slow cooker is programmable, but the only option as far as a start time is to begin cooking immediately. Aside from that, I have no other complaints. It's a great product otherwise.

Unfortunately, no. I wish it did. Nor can you set it to turn off. When the preset cooking time is completed, it switches to warm.

No, unfortunately. I wish it did. Nor can you program it to turn off. When the programmed cooking time is over, it automatically switches to warm.

Programmable means (Cookware): You can tell the device how hot or how long you want to cook something, or how warm it should be when done. If the Programmable device has a clock function, then you can set the time when the cooking starts. This usually means the device has to stay plugged in all the time to keep the clock running. This would be a professional heavy duty device, not a home use slow cooker. Keep in mind that once the meal is done, it will keep the food warm (110-120 deg.) until you are ready to eat it. As long as it stays moist, this should not be a problem.

No slow cooker will have a delayed start as keeping raw meat at room temperature for hours on end is dangerous.

Someone suggested using a timer. You can't use a timer with electronic controls (even if it has a manual setting). The timer will only allow or prevent power getting to the unit. However, with electronic controls, someone has to program and push the buttons, while the unit has power. If you set the program and then turn the unit off via a timer, the programming will be lost and the pot will do nothing when the timer turns on.

Yes, you can set it for the temperature that you want and when it reaches that temperature, it will alert you. It does not have a "poultry" or "pork" type button. This is actually my favorite feature.

It only remembers the last setting you put it to. This unit does not have a timer I believe. It just has an alarm for your target temp. Hope this helps

Yes, this is programmable, you can set up time and dates according to your needs.

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!

No, it's s pretty simple timer(I love mine!) but it's kind of like a kitchen timer.

There are no timer or programmable options. Thermostat is only active while unit is on. When is turned off, and back on, it does not resume thermostat operation. It defaults to high with no thermostat.

Yes. it worked fine with timer. You can preset the cooking end time that means program will start much earlier than end (ready) time.

Yes - it's still a settable programmable timer. The remote is just for testing your system in manual mode.

The control that sets the amount of heat is separate from the control that sets the time that the heat is active. Therefore the answer is YES. There is no timer that just measures time and the appropriate alarm (which would be useful).Haby

technically it does, it will automatically switch to warm after cook timer had expired then after 8 hours turn itself off. On another note, this is the best kitchen appliance I have purchased in years.

No program, no timer. It is a basic unit. We bought it because it is one of the only ones without programming that still has a "warm" setting, which is critical to its use.

Yes, the slow cooker has a timer that can be set to any time you like - once that time is reached, it automatically switches to the "warm" setting.

No, this item does not have "doneness" settings for different types of poultry and meat programmed in. However, it allows you to set a specific temperature (usually specified in a recipe) and the device alarm goes off when that temperature is reached. Nifty!

I'm not sure what you mean, Donna. I always use the timer when I cook, rather than any automatic setting. I tend to doubt that you could push an automatic setting and then use the timer for some other purpose, though.

This one has no timer. There are plenty of programmable models, but this is the only one I know of with 100% stainless steel as cooking surface.
