A question about slow cookers..?

Can anyone tell me how it works?Does it cook all kind of food?? Thing is, I live in a dorm on campus and I have a smoke detector. I don't want it to go off while I'm making something in the slow cooker. I was interested in the Proctor Silex one on ; it has a pretty good rating and an affordable price. I just miss cooking food for myself so I thought of making myself some soups and dishes in this cooker.All information and help is appreciated, thank you!

Answer:

These things, like so many things these days, are built only to last a few years. Then, the components start to go. If a new battery hasn't worked, then the wiring connecting the battery to the unit is gone. And that isn't worth fixing. I'm not sure about the security alarm; that you would need to discuss with people who did the installation. I'd buy a combo smoke/fire/carbon monoxide detector at Home Dump for 15 bucks and pull the other thing out, especially if you have another security alarm. Or, have the unit replaced, which probably would be more like 100-150 bucks. Getting it repaired would be a waste of money. Once the wiring goes, it's shot. They will repair it only so they can charge for that call, and they will (if honest) tell you that it's better to replace it. Good luck.
confusing situation. do a search into google. this might help!
