Temp selections 1-5 all boil whatever is cooking

I'm sorry, but it is not recommended to use the base of a slow cooker as a grill or griddle. Slow cookers are designed specifically for slow and even cooking at low temperatures, whereas grills and griddles require higher temperatures and direct heat. It's best to use the appropriate cooking utensils and appliances for your desired cooking method.

1 Use setting 1 (warm #1) only to warm rolls and muffins. At 140 degrees Fahrenheit, this setting should not be used for cooking.

2 Use setting 2 (warm #2) to keep cooked foods warm until they're ready to be served.

3 Use settings 3, 4 and 5 (low, medium high) for cooking. The setting you choose determines the length of time the food will cook. A typical meal with meat and vegetables needs 7 to 10 hours to cook at the low or #3 setting, 4 to 6 hours at the medium or #4 setting, and 2 to 3 hours at the high or #5 setting.

All West Bend slow cooker models eventually simmer at the boiling point, or 212 degrees. The setting simply determines how quickly the cooker will reach that temperature.

300 watt is not a huge consumption of electricity, depending of course on, how often, how long and how high temperature.

NO, these stoneware inserts are not meant for the high dry heat of conventional ovens. It will crack in the oven...use only in the crockpot!

Slow cooker usually cooks stew or soups

what do you need to know, they are so basic that I don't even think they have a manual. Very strate forward . Check out some cook books, or a crock pot cook book, that will solve you needs, and teach you to cook at the same time. Happy cooking.

Here is a link to the manufacturer for replacement parts for the 4-quart cooker:
