Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines The multiple Slow Cooker settings allows the kind of cooking, or serving, that lets you prepare a variety of foods on different settings, so you can adapt your recipes to your changing schedule. In general, use lower settings for longer cook times. Try a higher setting when you start food preparation later in the day and want to serve the food that same evening. "High" - Try using this setting when a shorter cooking time is desired or for recipes that are typically baked. Applesauce Beans and rice Broth-based soup Chicken/turkey pieces Cobbler/fruit dessert Dumplings Egg-based strata Gingerbread Hot beverages Pudding/steamed cake Roasted meats Steamed potatoes Wild rice casserole "Medium" - Appropriate for most recipes when there is time for long, slow cooking. It's an ideal setting for food started before going to work in the morning and served for dinner in the evening.
