A:Answer It's a got a slow cooker setting, but it can really cook darn quick. I made a hamburger taco noodle recipe as my first real attempt to cook with it. I was kind of unsure of the settings and was not sure what was needed for raw elbow noodles, 15 or 20 mins, was in my head, I sit and double check the recipe and it was for 5 mins, I turned it off immediately and checked and darn if it wasn't done, noodles perfect just that fast, amazed and sold on it's ability.
