Q: Can I brown food on stove and then slow cook In slow cooker?
A: I don't think so. Suggest using a skillet
submitted byBeenthere216 - 2 years agoA: Hi AC! We hope you are healthy and staying safe. Yes, we actually recommend that you brown the food on the stove first before slow-cooking.
submitted byCrockPot Support Team - 4 years agoBrand expertA: can you use the ceramic insert to brown meat directly on a gas stove top?
submitted byMyQuess - 2 years agoA: Best to use stove pan for searing BC you need to sear most meat to lock in flavor & juices. So, the ceramic insert is for "slow" cooking. Tip: They make slow cooking inserts to save cleaning!
submitted by30YrCX - 11 days agoA: Yes. The best way to prep beef for stew.

submitted byCrockPot Support Team - 1 year agoBrand expertA: The width and depth specifications for this crock-pot are different -- so, it is an oval. (Not sure why they answered you that it is round!)
submitted byBecca - 1 year agoA: Does this crockpot switch from low/high to warm after a certain amount of time? Or does it have to be manually switched?

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: 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 - 1 year 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.
submitted byDyann B - 5 years agoA: 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.

Q: How will I know if the crockpot is on? This particular one does not have any light to indicate it.
A: Hello, this is Collins from Crockpot! Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question!

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 Support Team - 3 years agoBrand expertA: Nope, this crock pot is manual. You will have to turn it on & off manually.

Q: Can I cook a small whole chiken in this 4.5 qt slow cooker?
A: Hello, Great question! A 4.5-quart slow cooker can typically fit a small whole chicken, depending on its size. Most chickens around 3 to 4 lbs should fit comfortably. If the chicken is a bit larger, you may need to trim it or spatchcock (butterfly) it to ensure even cooking. For best results, place the chicken breast-side up, season as desired, and cook on low for about 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours. Let us know if you have any other questions, you can find us on our official website or call us at 1-800-323-9519—happy cooking! - Crock-Pot Customer Care
