Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines
The multiple Slow Cooker settings allows the kind of cooking, or serving, that lets you prepare a
variety of foods on different settings, so you can adapt your recipes to your changing schedule.
In general, use lower settings for longer cook times. Try a higher setting when you start food
preparation later in the day and want to serve the food that same evening.
“Low”
– Good for slow cooking recipes or less tender cuts of meats that require
longer cooking times to develop full flavor.
“High”
– Try using this setting when a shorter cooking time is desired or for recipes
that are typically baked.
“Medium”
– Appropriate for most recipes when there is time for long, slow
cooking. It’s an ideal setting for food started before going to work
in the morning and served for dinner in the evening.
