Doe this switch automatically to warm when the food is cooked, and is the warm truly warm, or still bubbling?

As the man once said = "Try it, you'll like it!" I have used my Hamilton Beach 7-qt. slow cooker MANY times since I purchased it. I really DO likeit and would recommend it to anyone that wants to prepare food without a lot of trouble. Don B. (unsolicited)

No it does not auto switch. It has a knob, not digital settings to program. Pretty warm on warm not bubbling though.

I just love my Hamilton Beach. It comes in so very handy. It doesn't burn are mess your food up,and it comes with a strip that locks your lid in place. If you ever wanna prepare a nice and lovely meat before you go the bed or the work, this is the slow cooker that you need to get....you'll love it and you'll want you friends to get one too.

Fairly certain it does not automatically switch to warm - Dial settings are OFF - KEEP WARM - LOW - HIGH

No, it does not shut off automatically at the end of the cooking period. But, it has a beeping sound that goes off once it has reached the preset time.

In consultation with my wife, the true expert in things cooking, she said: The manual settings High and Simmer do not auto shift. It must be done by you. However when the set time for cooking has elapsed the unit will switch to Warm and stay there. This not a cooking setting, but more of a maintenance level.

Yes, it keeps food at a perfect hot/warm temperature until you turn it off. The food does not scorch or burn, it is great. When you select the time you want your food to cook, the cooker will start counting up until that time is reached, but then, the cooker will start counting down keeping the food at a perfect temperature until you turn it off. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this cooker.

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.

It does feel warm to the touch when your pot has been cooking and you move or take it off. I use a cast iron pan as well and this makes the underneath surface warm when you are done. It's good cause it keeps the food warm a bit till it totally cools.

once it boils it clicks into keep warm mode. if you forget to turn it off, it turns itself off when water runs low. hope this helps.

No, You have to turn it on warm yourself. It is a nice cooker and I like it very much. I am thinking of ordering another one later in the spring, when we start camping again.

No you can't switch it to warm, I don't think they are designed to do that, the 'warm' function goes on after your set time is done. I love this crock pot my meals come out perfect! Good Luck!

The sides get warm after use but I have never had it get so hot I was uncomfortable. We have a two person household, so that may vary according to how many people you have using it back to back. I only unplug my unit when I am cleaning the sides or the under tray. I never unplug it after use or anything. Hope this helps!

It should switch automatically based on your set temp. If it needs to cool down it will switch to cool and vice versa.

the red float I think you are talking about is the indicator that the unit is pressurized. When it drops, which it will on keep warm mode, that means that the unit is no longer pressurized and *could* be opened but does not have to be. The black valve does not roate automatically, but that is to reduce pressure manually and if you go to keep warm, the pressure is dropping naturally, so neither you nor the machiene needs to turn the black valve. The keep warm mode is GREAT. I cooked some chicken breasts after dinner, planning on making chicken salad after kids in bed and forgot about them. Came down at breakfast and thought I had just spoiled the chicken sitting out all night, but lo and behold, it was hot, tender, perfectly moist.

Yes, this unit will automatically switch to warm after the cooking cycle is finished.

Yes, when the water has come to a rolling boil and is VERY hot, the switch automatically switches to off.

This rice cooker is a tried and true unit, once the cook cycle is completed, it will then go to warm mode, you will need to unplug the machine if you want it to turn completely off

You would have to set the unit to the desired cook time and once it has reached the time, it will switch to Warm.
