MyTime model comparison
Crock-Pot MyTime six- and seven-quart slow cookers compared
The two Crock-Pot MyTime cookers in this library share the unusual part of the routine: select a food group and amount, then pick the time you want the meal ready. Their differences are not a separate heating technology. They are the size and carrying setup around that schedule, plus what the product pages actually establish about fit and weight.
First, understand the shared schedule
Both the six-quart SCCPVFC630-S-BR and seven-quart CPSCVTS70LL-S have a Schedule Meal routine and a separate Manual function. In the schedule routine, the guide asks you to select Meat, Poultry, Soup or Veggies, then a weight or pot-amount band and a desired finish time. MyTime calculates an earliest finish and adjusts the cooking cycle. Soup is the guide’s choice for stew; for large cuts of meat or poultry, it says to add time beyond the displayed earliest end.
This is not a delayed start for a fixed recipe timer. The cooker aims at a chosen completion time from its food and amount inputs. It does not allow more than 12 hours from cook-start in that routine, and it shifts to Keep Warm after the scheduled meal time. In the alternative Manual mode, you select High or Low and enter the time yourself in 15-minute steps up to 20 hours; that timed cycle also switches to Warm. Warm is for already-cooked food, and the guides recommend no more than four hours there. A chosen mode and the meal plan have to fit your recipe; do not treat two control routines as one combined program.
What the seven-quart version adds
The CPSCVTS70LL-S is nominally one quart larger, weighs 13.05 pounds empty and has a Cook & Carry gasketed lid with transport clips. Its guide says to keep the clips unlocked while cooking, latch them after the cooking cycle if needed for transport, and carry the appliance by the base handles. That is the better fit when you often take a filled cooker to another kitchen or event. The extra quart may also help with a larger batch, but the owner guide recommends filling the pot between one-half and three-quarters full, not to the brim. Nominal capacity does not guarantee a serving count.
The trade is bulk: it is heavier before any food is added, and a filled stoneware vessel is heavier still. Published body height is not open-lid clearance, so check the shelf height and lift path rather than assuming the lid can come off under a cabinet.
What the six-quart version changes
The SCCPVFC630-S-BR weighs 12.4 pounds empty and uses a standard glass lid without documented transport clips. It is the smaller of the pair and remains a MyTime scheduler, not a simplified model that loses the meal-finish control. Its precise fit dimensions need extra care: the exact manufacturer product page presents two conflicting dimension sets—16.2 × 11.5 × 10 inches in one line and 14.3 × 9.7 × 14.6 inches in separate specification fields. Neither set gives lid-open clearance. For a tight counter, do not treat the page as a reliable promise of footprint; measure the actual product and allow room to lift the lid.
Both manuals list dishwasher-safe stoneware and glass lids and permit the insert in an oven or microwave, but not on a stovetop or under a broiler. Neither manual states a maximum oven temperature. The six-quart guide additionally highlights a battery-backed clock and a CR2025 replacement cell. If you buy a used example, include the clock setting and battery compartment in your setup check.
Choose by the constraint you will notice
Choose the six-quart version if you want to schedule dinner but do not need travel locks or an extra quart. At the listed 12.4-pound empty weight it meets a 12.5-pound limit, but not a 12-pound limit. Choose the seven-quart version if transport clips and more nominal capacity are essential and a 13.05-pound cooker is manageable. Both meet a 14-pound weight ceiling; neither has documented sous-vide or probe-controlled slow-cooking, and neither provides verified open-lid clearance.
If you only want to enter a duration and heat setting, a conventional digital countdown model such as the CPSCVC70LL-B-122 Poseidon avoids MyTime’s food/amount schedule. If a transport lid is essential, the larger MyTime is the relevant sibling; do not infer clips from the matching stainless finish. Crock-Pot showed the six-quart page as currently unavailable and the seven-quart page as out of stock when checked. Retailer availability is separate and has not been confirmed here.
