What degrees Farhenheit should 1,2,3,4, and 5 be on this slow cooker? Thank you. Pat

Pat, the numbers are only a dial position indicator. This slow cooker is continuously variable from a "keep warm" heat right up to "hard boil". With a little tweaking you can find the perfect simmer position. It's the perfect cooker, far above the older switched low, medium and high cookers.G

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

I don't know the answer, but anything below 3 is just to keep food warm, will not cook it properly..I love mine, but wish they would have continued to make the multi cooker instead of just the slow cooker.....

I checked with Proctor-Silex and they said High is around 210Low is around 190 and warm is around 160. We love our little slow cooker. Mainly we use it for dips and small side dishes.

That's exactly what I'd like to know... it seems difficult to find this information on pressure cookers... I'm trying to research before I buy, and I can't find exact pressure settings (just 'low', 'medium', or 'high'). ? ? ?

I haven't cooked on that high of a heat yet. I have been using it for all day crockpot cooking. I'm using 250 degrees to cook a pork loin. I leave for work at 7am and get home at 5pm and it is cooked perfectly...not overcooked. I can tell you that my larger 18qt nesco definitely hits the 425 degrees when I boil down spaghetti sauce for canning.

Yes you do...but... most directions says boil to 185 and then cool below 120. I have done this many many many times myself. Alton Brown on food Network says you just need to bring it to the 110 range. I did that with this machine and it was perfect. I like to start out just below 120 when I add my starter yogurt.

They are sending out the wrong manual with this unit. The manual I received is for the 33100 (a little fondu warmer) NOT the item shipped (the 4quart slow cooker). So yes this is a slow cooker and simmer pot.

Hi JT! Had to get my grill out to answer this. There are 6 settings starting at 300f to 450f max. each increment is 25 degrees. Remember, that you get two sided cooking, so you would never, ever, use too much higher than 325-350. I use 325 for just about everything to keep the food moist. Still running great after 3 years of regular use. No coating has come off and it looks brand new.

Not sure, Allen. My silicone steamer says it's ok up to 450º, but how do we find out temp inside a pressure cooker (without being sorry... ) : ) I have a flat metal (aluminum probably) steamer rack that rests on bottom of a canning pot and something like this could withstand higher heat? Hope someone knows how to find an answer.

I have not found this to be an issue. When I am slow cooking, I use the two outermost burners with the food in the center of the grill. I can easily maintain temps from 250 to 350 degrees by simply adjusting those two burners. For direct heat cooking, you may want to try using only the one or two burners directly beneath the food.

Hi there - the entire metal outside BECOMES SO HOT YOU RISK A 3rd DEGREE BURN IF YOU TOUCH IT! Also, It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to heat thus it seems the slow cooker is only going to be warm to the touch but once it 'gets going' WATCH OUT! It does not matter if you set it on 'low', 'high' or 'keep warm' the results are still the same. Also, these 3 settings are the only settings other than 'On' and Off'.

There were settings, Lo-Hi. If you set it to Lo it boiled more slowly than if you set it higher. I don't know what that translated out to in terms of degrees.

I has a high, low, warm and auto setting. The auto setting cooks on high for 2 hours and then re-sets to low. The warm setting is great for those occasions when you want things hot enough to eat but not still cooking. I have 2 other crock pots. Never use the other two anymore. This is worth every penny.

My slow cooker will reach a very gentle boil on high, though it takes a long time. I am not a particularly patient person so it's seems like a long time. If you are like me (impatient) do not use the slow cooker for reheating cooked foods after they were refrigerated. It takes forever :-( I put the food in a pot and put it on the stove. This is a slow cooker and does that well.

Hello, I personally have never used low settings to cook. I am sorry I couldn't tell you if it can be used as a slow cooker.

OFF IS THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE SETTING...Actually it says low med hi I typically cook everything on medium for 5 minutes...You just have to play around with different food and different settings I started out at low and when I saw not much happened to the hamburgers after 5 minutes I moved it up to medium...

The box says the probes can handle up to 716 degrees Farhenheit. The probes wires are fairly short though. It might be hard for them to reach the food in a big oven and still leave enough length to place the thermometer on a counter. I do believe they sell probes with longer wires if needed.

Per web searchThe LOW setting of a slow cooker ranges in temperature from 200-210 F.The HIGH setting of a slow cooker ranges in temperature from 300-325 F.I bought this unit to bake with but to also slow cook with per the information above I found on several web sites
