The auto function will cook on high for a certain lenght of time and then switch to low.
You should cook it on high for about 4 hours
When a slow cooker is set on auto, it starts out with a high temperature and then switches to a low temperature when the crock has warmed up sufficiently. When the crock starts to cool off it switches back to high again, and so on.
Different makes and models of slow cookers have different settings, so for the answer to this question, one would need to consult the product manual for the specific slow cooker.
Put the greens in the slow cooker. Add in your water for cooking. Put on the lid and put the temperature on low if you want it to cook all day. Or put on high to cook faster. Add any seasonsings you want.
to maintain a tender cut, the low heat setting is recommended
Cooks on high for two hours then goes to low until you shut it off. Works great!
A slow cooker will not roast (the temperature is not high enough). However, if you brown your joint of meet in a frying pan on all sides then place it in the slow cooker with some vegetables, herbs, pepper, salt, stock and a little wine to just about cover it, it will cook slowly for 4 - 8 hours and taste wonderful.
A 'slow' cooker cooks food at a very low heat therefore taking longer than normal to cook the food.
Yes, but it might not be as tender as cooking it on low for a longer period of time. Just be sure to keep enough water/broth in the slow cooker to make sure your roast doesn't dry out too much.
The machine starts cooking on high and reduces to low once the food is cooked, I use it a lot and it is a great feature.
Yes, you can use a slow cooker base (not crock pot) as a warming tray. Of course, the base is not very large, but it can be used as a warmer. You can also, keep mashed potatoes warm for up to an hour in the slow cooker pot on Low.
