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.

“High” – Try using this setting when a shorter cooking time is desired or for recipes that are typically baked.
