I love this slow cooker for a party I had! Was a big hit to my guests. Depending on how big a meal you make these 2.5 qt bowls aren't very big if your feeding a big family! I guess it depends on how much your family eats at a meal. It would be great for stews, soups and sauces. Great for keeping things warm!! Each slow cooker has it's own warming or heating element, so you can cook things on high or low or even just if you just want to warm things up!

I don't believe this unit can be used for that purpose . It is geared toward keeping food that has already been prepared ahead of time warm for several hours. It works well for that purpose.

I think anything that could handle 12 hours in a crock pot would be fine in this as well. There is no timer that would allow you to start the crock later (e.g., if you wanted to use a delayed start to cook something only for 6 hours). The 3 crocks are controlled individually, so you can use 1, 2, or all 3 depending on how many dishes you are cooking. Some foods might turn to mush in 12 hours though; you'd just have to pick your recipes carefully to ensure things can hold up to a 12-hour shift.

I work 12 hours, too. I use my triple slow cooker as a warmer/server for veggies I cook on the stove, but I wouldn't trust smaller ones for cooking raw foods. I use larger slow cookers to cook in, but 12 hours is too long for most recipes.

absolutely, I often make 3 different meals for the week. I love this slow cooker. I am planning on using it again on Thanksgiving, cooking 3 different menu items. good luck and be happy

It's great for 2 people. But, I think you can get 4 burgers and 3-4 chicken breasts on at one time. It would be pretty crowded and you don't want too much fat dripping on the coals. To cook for 4 people you may need to plan for a 2nd cooking and have a way to keep the first batch warm. Hope this is helpful.

Dear Amazon Consumer,Thank you for your interest in the Cake Boss Bake ware.May I also suggest you use the middle shelf in the oven.Please keep in mind that each oven is different, though you adjusted the temperature, you may also need to adjust the length of time you allow to bake. Or perhaps lower the temperature another degrees. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you.Kind Regards,Audrey Consumer Relations

We really like it use it about 2 or 3 times a week. We have found you need to add more time. So I cook about 3 - 3:15.

There are just two of us in our house and we cook a lot. I use it everyday for all kinds of meals. I only use my big oven when we have company, or to roast a chicken or large casserole.

You can set 3 separate times on the timer. each timer is separate, so you can have one going off in 10 min then another going off in 1 min the another going off in 15 minutes. Great timer for multiple dishes. hope this helps. Sally

Isn't this the most wonderful dessert? "Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes." I have doubled the recipe and cooked it for 4 minutes, stirred and cooked for 4 minutes. It worked just fine. THANK YOU for asking this question. I have one more old box and had not read the new box. I will now cut the back off the old box and save it! Callie

Hi. I have never overshot the cooking time. There is also a "1 minute" button that I use more often. So if I need 4 minutes, I just press that button 4 times. I almost never use the knob actually.

Barbara, no special cookware needed. I caution you NOT to ever try to adjust the timer once it starts, since you could break it. Always let the timer run out before adding more time..and if less time is needed, simply lift the handle to shut off. Never adjust the timer once its set! I set my Boss to 350 degrees and have never needed to adjust it. I cook steaks, chicken, salmon/cod, pork chops all in 15 minutes or less. I recommend a light soaped sponges to wipe the under glass and follow with a wet paper towel to clean any spatter. I love it. Maybe spray PAM on the grate to avoid food sticking! Enjoy!

There is no limit of cooking time. It does have some electronic issues. I sent one back and thought the second went out too but it come back on. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes you can cook rice and veggies at the same time. We do advise following whatever recipe guidelines you have for cooking times, as they may vary.

Depends on portion size, but usually good up 2 at a time. You can cook for 1 person at a time for larger portions, and since it only takes 8 minutes per cooking session, it's quick.

I usually cook 6 .My hotdogs are the longer ones. What I really like is you can lower the temperature and they don't shrivel up.I love mine

No, not all at one time. What I've done is cook 4 minutes then wait 30 seconds then cook 4 more minutes. This makes the potatoes super soft. This product is amazing. I've used it for sweet potatoes and broccoli too. I put veggies in a Baggie then in this bag. 4 minutes works for veggies too.

You do not need an additional dish. If you have a smaller recipe, simply place it in the stoneware dish that comes with this. That's the beauty of it. You don't need anything else. You could make large recipes or you could make smaller recipes. It works very well no matter the size. I've never had any problems with the smaller recipes. If you have any further questions, you might want to contact the manufacturer. I hope this helps.
