Crock-PotSCCPVP600-S Smart-Pot 6-Quart Slow Cooker, Brushed Stainless Steel, 6 Qt, Stainless

Q: Does this crock pot have delayed settings?

No, this unit does not have a delayed start option. For food safety reasons, our units can't be set to turn on at a later time.

Q: How warm does the outside of this get during cooking? Is it cool to the touch or will it burn someone?

The upper rim of the silver part and the inside part does get too hot to handle. The outside of the pot itself does get warm but I don't know that it would burn you to touch it. I would keep small kids away from it. The handles do not get hot.

Q: is the lid supposed to be wobbly & loose?

It is normal for the lid to fit loose. The lid does not fit tight to produce a seal. For assistance, please contact Crock-Pot®. Thank you.

Q: Can I leave it plugged in?

Not sure! I guess it would be best to unplug it when not in use. If you did leave it plugged in on the off mode it should be ok to. When it comes to small appliances I always unplug for safety.
