Q: I have a 6 quart crock pot and whether I choose low or high, the food is always overcooked. I cook for myself so maybe I'm not putting enough food in? What size would you recommend for one person that would generate 4-5 portions?
A: Thank you so much for your question. We’re sorry to hear about what happened to your food. To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to conform to recommended cook times with the exception of certain cakes and custards, and as guided in our slow cooker recipes. For further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-323-9519. Our Consumer Care Team is open from 9 am to 5 pm EST Monday to Friday. You can also shoot us an email or contact us through chat by visiting our website. Thank you so much and have a nice day.
submitted byCrockPot Brand Team - 3 years agoBrand expertA: All my Crockpots over the past 5-10 yr have overheated, no matter what the setting. Last time I did 2 roasts, should have taken 8 hr on low. At 5 hr, it was actually boiling, and the meat was overdone
submitted byCookie - 21 days agoA: Crock-Pot has dramatically increased the temperature of the heating element from what it was years ago, presumably due to worries about food-borne illness. It is very difficult to cook properly with modern slow cookers. I would recommend you scour garage sales for older models, which cook much more reliably.

Q: How will I know if the crockpot is on? This particular one does not have any light to indicate it.
A: Look at the knob to verify the setting. I cook most of my food on low and never turn the knob off.

Q: DOES THIS CROCK P0T HAVE A TIMER TO SHUT OFF OR DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF ANYTIME?
A: Hey there, Deedee! Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question. This manual slow cooker does not have a timer and cannot be set to turn off automatically. Once you turn the slow cooker on, it stays on until you shut it off. This product is manually operated with a control knob and must be manually switched to Warm or Off when cooking is completed. We hope this information helps. Thank you and have a nice day!
submitted byCrockPot Brand Team - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Nope, this crock pot is manual. You will have to turn it on & off manually.
