Keep Warm Setting

After cooking is completed, switch to keep warm setting to prevent overcooking.

Wrap Around Element

Wraps around the crock sides to ensure even heating. It prevents food sticking to the bottom of the crock and eliminates the need to stir your food.

Dishwasher Safe

Dishwasher safe pan and lid for easy cleaning.

Is the ceramic crock insert free of lead, cadmium, teflon and other nasties?

Yes, it is a lead-free glaze on ceramic pot and during standard testing the levels of lead & cadmium are negligible and meet American FDA standards.

Is it normal for the outside to get hot while cooking?

Yes, one of the features of the HP5520 is that it has a wrap around element as opposed to an element at the base, which ensures consistent/even cooking. This means that the outer body of the slow cooker will get hot so we always recommend to use the handles if lifting or moving the slow cooker.

Can I put the ceramic crock into the oven?

Yes, however, please note only the ceramic crock insert is oven safe.
