Know before you buy
Yes, the dedicated Slow Cook function is designed to handle long, low-temperature cooking, effectively freeing up counter space by replacing a standalone slow cooker.
The adjustable Humidity Slide Control allows you to manage moisture levels inside the drawer. You can keep it closed to retain moisture for items like rolls or vegetables, or open it to vent steam and keep crispy foods from getting soggy.
The Bread Proof function provides a consistent, low-heat environment specifically calibrated for yeast activation, which is much more reliable than trying to find a warm spot in your kitchen.
The drawer includes two racks that can be positioned either front-to-back or side-to-side, allowing you to customize the layout to accommodate different sizes of serving dishes or plates.
While it is a 27-inch unit, you must verify your specific cutout dimensions. This model requires a cutout width of 25-1/2 inches, a height of 9-1/8 inches, and a depth of 24 inches.
The unit features a clear indicator light on the control panel that illuminates when the drawer is operational, so you can easily see at a glance if it is running.
