Warm temp setting is scorching the food. Low setting had a meal burned to a crisp in 3 hours.

Terrible - DO NOT BUY

I received this Crock-Pot as a gift and used it once to make Buffalo Chicken Dip. I finished the first process of melting the cream cheese with the rest of the ingredients and then added my shredded cheese and switched to keep warm. I went outside to spend time with my guests and when returned it was boiling out of control on the KEEP WARM setting. The dip was ruined and I am afraid to use this crockpot again. Crock-Pot should be ashamed of this product and it should be recalled!!!!

Outer unit hot to touch even when off

Love the programmable features and the "warm" mode but worrisome that the crockpot get hot as soon as I plug it in and stays hot for a long time after it is turned off if it is plugged in. The outer case is hot to the touch within 3 minutes of plugging the unit in. Not something I really like when this is supposed to be on for hours.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello.
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've encountered with your new Crock Pot. We understand your concerns.
Please be informed that due to the proximity between the heating element and the exterior of our slow cookers, it is normal for them to get quite hot on the outside. The heating element wraps around the sides of the unit. Therefore, on both the outside of the unit and in the product's instruction manual we recommend using a hot pad if you need to touch the unit during cooking.
Once again, we regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach to us directly via https://www.crock-pot.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We’re available Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern Time.
Thank you and take care! CrockPot Consumer Care

I'm not happy with performance of this slow cooker. It cooks the food to fast on slow and burns food
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from crock-pot.comBy Customer Care, June 24, 2024
Hello!
The unit can also boil on High and Low. We do recommend that you always fill your slow cooker 1/2 - 3/4 of the way full, including at least one cup of liquid or sauce. You may have to adjust your cook times accordingly, especially if you are using older slow cooker recipes, or adapting regular recipes for slow cooker use. This will prevent the food from drying out and burning.
If you note no improvement while using these guidelines, please reach out to us via https://www.crock-pot.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am -5 pm Eastern Time.
Thank you! Crockpot Consumer Care

Hello Bobby,
Thank you for reaching out to share your feedback on our 7-Quart Programmable Slow. We're so sorry to hear about your experience with the unit. It's especially disappointing when a replacement for a long-lasting product doesn't hold up. We understand how concerning it is when the appliance overheats regardless of settings, and even more so when the crock cracks and leaks. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we've shared it with our product team for review.
If you need further assistance or you have more feedback, please reach out to us directly via the "Contact Us" form on our official website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you! Crockpot® Consumer Care.
