what are the cooking times with this product. i have read about people cooking a small roast for up to 8 hours.

I've made a small pork tenderloin and since it's cooked at a low temperature it took about 3 hrs or less and was medium rare and delicious.

If you haven't already purchased this item, I suggest you look at my review. If you have, before mine fell apart, I smoked a brisket in it for 8 hours. The thing with smoking is, you're cooking on a very low heat, so it takes longer. You'll want to add more wood chips ever couple of hours. A side of salmon, depending upon thickness, would get smoked 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to smoke skin on with fish. You'd not believe the difference!

I find it depends a bit on the bottle for some reason, and what temp you are cooking at. But I get at least 45 minutes on fairly high heat. Easily an hour on medium. But YMMV

For a darker roast, it likes about 125 gm. (4.4 oz).. for a medium roast at about 26-27 minutes, it can take 135-140 gm. or about 5 oz... i like a medium roast, where no oil spots show up.. and depending on the bean, i can roast about 5.3 oz.. (150g).. i think i once did a dark roast at about 5 oz.. but you have to crank up the time to like 28 minutes.. but the purists don't like this long roast time.. they will tell you that you are 'baking' the beans instead of roasting them... but i say to them : " throw some maple syrup and pork fat in the mix, and you'll get a damn good meal of baked beans !

We have been using ours to roast coffee for about a month. It seems to do the job and the coffee tastes great. We like a dark roast and it takes about 8 1/2 to 9 minutes. The husks come off the beans and blow around and after about 4 minutes the beans will start to jump out. We remove the clear plactic deflector and place a metal strainer over the opening to keep the beans inside the popper. It is an inexpensive way to see if you like to roast your own coffee. If not you can still use it for popcorn.

I have had a great deal of success roasting meats and vegetables in this oven. Recently, I marinated and cooked some pork spare ribs. I used a beer and crushed pineapple marinade with garlic, black pepper and fish sauce, and cooked them in convection mode at 200 degrees for 5 hours. I have also cooked beef using similar "low and slow" methods. Chicken legs, marinated in wine vinegar, yellow mustard, garlic and black pepper, roasted at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes yields tender, juicy meat and crisp skin. Roasting vegetables is also very easy, and can yield some tasty sides. I have had a great deal of success roasting meats and vegetables in this oven.

Depends on the coffee and how dark you roast. The default timer is 6 minutes, but I usually start with 7. I watch it after first crack and may extend the time or reduce it. You can go to cool mode any time you like. For the first 2 minutes, I swirl the entire unit to ensure even roast - on advice from a post. You can also adjust the temperature and the fan speed to affect roasting. It's fun to try different things with it.

Depending on thickness 10 minutes on one side and about 7 minutes on second side it medium rare !!! Cook HOT

About 4-8 minutes for 4-5 oz, depending on the depth of the roast and the bean being roasted. So much depends on the bean and quantity that you can't get much more precise on timing. And the bigger the batch, the longer it takes. But you're dealing with just a few minutes.

there are presets, I always use the medium setting for roast, whole chickens, turkey breast. I also have the 5 quart one. There are only two of us . You can make anything in these cookers. I do not use a meat thermometer, I will put a 5 to 6 pound pork roast on for at least 10 hours and you can cut it with a fork!!! You don't need to use much water like a crockpot. It is a trial and error.

I have, but I would strongly advise that you get used to cooking with this unit before you do so. It does cook a bit different than a CrockPot. You can set the temperature - there's 3 cooking settings, so with familiarity of how it cooks, you'll have an idea when it gets done and will know how to set it for workdays. For me, a 3-4 pound roast will be done in about 4-5 hours at the highest setting (4). You will be able to cook all your favorites in this wonderful cooker, but I found I had to adjust the times and temps for some things. I hope this answers your question.

The problem I had with this cooker, which relates to the above question, is that it doesn't have a low enough temperature. I'd slow cook on low, and the stuff would be boiled to mush in an hour. I suspect the same thing happened with the burned roast. This cooker doesn't go low enough. I like the suggestion of browning and then cooking the rest of the way on low, but that's still pretty hot. Something needs to keep the bottom of the pan, where I assume the temp gauge is, thinking there are no cool spots.

Constant stirring? For 12 hours? This is a nice roaster. I sometimes use it in place of my slow cooker when I have a large batch to prepare, but I've never made apple butter. How do you stir constantly for 12 hours?

Although I have never done a chuck roast in this crock pot, I have cooked a corned beef which was tender in 4hrs on high. You will see the liquid actually boiling if you are cooking on high in this crockpot. I usually use low for a standard 8-10 hr cook. Unlike the previous responder, I have found this crockpot to be hotter on all settings than the old one I used, which was Rival, I believe.

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.

You might call CrockPot to check, as this is basically a small slow-cooker, and we use those to cook raw meats in all the time, with the caveat that it takes perhaps 6-10 hours to do so on the low setting. The company can tell you exactly how it works in this instance, as it is surely a safety issue they need to tell consumers about to avoid illness.

This is a roaster great for meats-ribs, hams, small birds, etc., but it cooks way too fast to not be attended. Like a larger roaster (I have a 25 pounder for turkeys) this will take your cooking time down significantly. Instead of a 4-5 hour cook time your probably looking at 2 1/2 to 3 max. the temp on this even on low is hot. great for smaller amounts of roasting. I do cook beans, roast, etc. but once again--it cooks hot and fast. I personally love mine. its held up well.

25 to 35 minutes. I have read that if you are going to use it topically you cook for 1 1/2 hours
