Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that when cooking anything containing meat in a slow cooker, cook on the High temperature setting for up to 2 hours or until the meat reaches 140°F, then reduce to the Low temperature setting. This ensures that the meat will reach food-safe temperatures in the proper amount of time. Using the Low temperature setting without the timer is to be used only for recipes that require a constant low temperature. When cooking on the Low setting using the timer, the Slow Cooker will automatically start on High and then drop to Low once the food reaches 140°F. Set desired temperature by turning the temperature dial to the Low, High or Warm setting. NOTE: The Warm setting is not a cooking function; therefore, it is only for use with preheated foods.
