Does anyone know whether the lid on this crockpot (see the link below) have a rubber seal or not?

Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry Oval Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCP...ds=slow+cooker



I just bought a similar one (same brand, same size with model number SCCPVC609-S from Costo for half the price. This unit has no locking mechanism which I do not need cus I won't be moving the pot with lots of food.

The edge of this has no ribber seal the small crockpot slow cooker I have. For that small one, even with the seal the steam escape, reducing the liquid level too much and so I use a tie rope that goes over the lid and tie on to the case handle in order to press the lid onto the pot firmly. I do NOT want to have to do that with this big slow cooker.

The purpose of buying this 6 qt programmable one is to keep soup like Pho in it for 5-7 days, heating the soup to a boil every morning and night ( will turn off before I leave home) rather than keeping the soup in the fridge. That preserves the flavor. I have been using the same approach with barley soup but on the stove top. With barley soup, it's a thick soup and so I don't need too much liquid like Pho which would require big pot which I do not want it to be sitting on the stove top for 5-7 days. It gets crowded.

So,

Q1: does anyone know whether this kind of lid without rubber seal would reduce the liquid level

Q2: Does anyone know whether the lid on Crock-Pot SCCPVL610-S 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry Oval Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel (see the link above at top) have a rubber seal or not?
--------------------------------------------------------------

What I would really want to have one day is a crockpot with programming features that would allow me to program to start heating the soup at a certain time (when I am out of the house) for a certain amount of time (enough time yo come to a boil) with the option to switch to "off" rather than "warm" setting. Does such a slow cooker exist?
