Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I too thought it cooked too hot so wrote to company. The following is their reply: "Both High and Low stabilize at the same temperature, it is just a matter of how long it takes to reach the simmer point. Once food reaches the simmer point, total cook time is dependent on cut and weight of meat to reach the point of maximum flavor and texture potential. (Most dishes can be prepared on either High or Low.) Typical cook time for Crock-Pot' slow cookers to reach simmer point (209'F): Low: 7-8 to reach the simmer point High: 3-4 hours to reach the simmer point" It is hotter than my old one but it's a food safety issue. The dishes are coming out great. I find it the perfect size for my husband and me and can't beat the price!
