Oxtails how to cook oxtails and how long

If timing does not allow the recipe to be cooked on low for as long as required, the slow cooker can be turned up to high and the cooking time reduced. Convert cooking time by using a ratio of 2 hours of cooking on low as being equal to 1 hour of cooking on high.

it is possible that you have misunderstood the instructions
for a slow cooker you have low medium and high
press slow cook and on low and in 8 hours the food is cooked
I see from your statements that you expect the cooker to be set on slow cook but cook at a high temperature fast
if it says slow cook --9 hours and the temp is 125 degrees , have you waited 9 hours to see if it is cooked as the slow cooking process is by the gradual build up of heat in the container that is not expelled by radiation to the air
in a pressure cooker , that build up of heat also builds up pressure and so it cooks better
other solution--- if it is not right return it for a warranty refund or if out of warranty , junk it and get a different make

Cooking at low temps results in better taste for most things. As far as cool down goes I would have no idea.

The Cook setting is High heat for cooking the Warm setting is Low heat just to keep it warm after cooking is done, really hope this helps?

Hit the on/off button, so that the cooker looks like it is off, then hit the cook time button up the the number of hours you need to cook. This slow cooker has three settings: LOW, HIGH and WARM..... When your corningware slow cooker is initially plugged into a wall outlet, the display will show "0". This display indicates the programmed number of hours for which ameal will cook. The slow cooker can be programed in one hour increments from 1 to 10 on your digital display. The number of hours may be selected by pushing the COOK TIME button until the desired cooking time appears. If 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 hours are selected, then the slow cooker will operate on the high setting. If 7,8,9, or 10 hours are selected then the slow cooker will operate on the low setting. To start the cooking cycle press the ON/OFF button. To interrupt the cooking cycle at anytime, press the ON/OFF button. If the ON/OFF button is pressed when the digital display shows "0", then the slow cooker will automatically start on the warm setting.

Make sure that what you are cooking is something that can be cooked in a slow cooker. Put all the ingrediants into the pot, plug it in and set it to either Low -This setting is the most used setting. Usually takes 8 hours or so depending on what you are cooking. High -This setting is faster and usually cooks in half the time as Low, but meats aren't as as tender cooked on this setting. Also make sure you put in enough liquid. You usually want the pot filled 2/3 with whatever liquid you are using to cook with.

The cooking time depends on what your cooking. In general there is a 3 to 4 hour difference between slow and fast. If your cooking poultry make sure to check the meat with a thermometer until you get the hang of it.

The difference is the time and how warm it cooks. Low cooks a slow, lower heat - cooks 6-8 hours. And High is a faster cook at 4-6 hours. I tend to use low for stews and chilis.

if it is recommended that you cook for 7 hours on medium I would think the you would cook it on high for 3-1/2 hours, and or low for 14 hours but check it with a meat thermometer every hour

Push the COOK TIME button, if the time changes then if you leave the number of hours between 1 and 6, and press the ON/OFF button, it will cook on high that many hours. If you leave the number between 7 and 10, and press the ON/OFF button, it will cook on low that many hours. If you leave the number at "0" then the slow cooker will cook on WARM. If the COOK TIME button does not work, unplug the slow cooker, hold both the ON/OFF button and the COOK TIME buttons down and plug it into a wall socket. After the lights flash a few times, release the buttons. the switches should work.
