Slow Cookers
Slow cookers, also known as Crock-pots, are small or medium electronic cooking appliances used to simmer food at relatively low temperatures over a period of hours. This allows for the unattended cooking of stews, pot roasts, soup and other foods. Slow-cooked food also has certain different flavors compared to convection cooked food.

Is food grown cold after being cooked in a slow cooker toxic?
Toxic no, but any food left out over 4 hours between 41 and 135 degrees F (5 and 57 degrees C) can potentially give you a food born illness.
What is the equivalent oven temp for crock pot low temp?
There's not likely to be a direct correlation with an oven temperature. Most of the things we cook in a crock pot are in hot water, and contain things like cheaper cuts of meat. Assuming this is what you are cooking, I'd use 120 to 140 degrees C (250 to 300 F). It still takes a long time to cook some cuts of meat, depending on your preference. I like to give stewing beef about 3 hours.
Can you cook a frozen ham in a slow cooker?
Yes, but as it must be done with plenty of water the result will basically be a boiled ham. This will remove much of the flavorings you paid for when you bought the ham.
When was the betty g slow crock cooker fryer made?
I bought one new in the early 1980's. I was in college and believe I paid between ten and fifteen dollars. I would not have been to pay more than that.
Is a Stoneware Crock hot to the touch?
"Most stoneware crocks are warm to the touch but not dangerously hot, because the heat is dispersed evenly throughout the crockery. The inner sleeve can get very hot however, so care should be taken when moving or pouring out from a crock pot."
Can you make boxed scalloped potatoes in the crock pot?
No I don't think it would work because you need to bake them to get the brown crust that forms on top and in a crock pot there is too much moisture so they would turn to mush.
Why has your slow cooker got a rubber stopper in the hole on the lid?
The main pressure relief valve in the center allows steam to escape once the pressure reaches a maximum volume. Should that relief valve be blocked with food particles the rubber safety valve has a slightly higher pressure tolerance and will pop off releasing pressure as a failsafe.
Neti pot is a small teapot used to give yourself a salt water nasal wash to clear the sinuses. You can compromise with a small container with a spout on it. If you use tap water, you must boil the water and emerge the container you use in it to sterilize it as well. Plain tap water is stagnate and can cause dangerous infections. Tilt your head over a sink and tilt you head at a 45 degree angle and pour the solution in one nostril causing it to drain out the opposite nostril Repeat for other side. 1/4 tsp of salt to 8 ozs. of boiled or distilled water.
How do you cook low fat turnip greens in slow cooker pot?
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.
Is there any evidence of a crock pot burning down a house?

No it won't crack the pot
How do you clean the stoneware pot in a slow cooker?
I find a scrubrush, hot water and liquid detergent works quite well
How long is too long in a slow cooker?
really I would say no more than 12 hours. I have left chicken legs in a stew longer than this (overnight) and it came out horribly watery, fibrous and tasteless :-(
Following my own experiments I would say that lamb stew will take up to 24 hours, beef around 18 hours ( the fattier the longer) and chicken and pork no longer than 12 hours. But as I say, even lamb and beef will taste better after 12 hours than 24 ;-)
