re: Low vs. High Crock Pot Settings

Im a crock pot junkie. It really depends on what you cook and the density. I always cook partially on high for a bit even if recipe calls for low. At min cook high 1 hour to get temps up then reduce to low. I will say though, ive never found a low temp recipe to be done at specified times.
A tip for cooking on high is to provide barrier between the botton of crock pot and food. The best thing for this is to line the entire bottom with two or more onions (quartered) to make a bed for the rest of the food. What ever is on bottom will burn/overcook so dont serve those onions.
This weekend we accidentally did a first. We cooked our normal pot roast but the wife and I were so busy that we didnt eat it. I let the crock pot stay on warm for about 48hrs. Went i went to toss it out, I burned myself it was so hot. Instead, I tried some and it was the best pot roast we have ever made. We ate it that night.

My onions have never burned and I find that they are are quite tasty. In fact, I've been cooking with less liquid than I thought was necessary when I first started cooking with a crock pot and still nothing's burned. Potatoes, however, are things that sort of turn out funky after hours of low and slow.
