My husband was the slow cooker chef here, he always started off on the highest setting until the contents were bubbling then turned it down low for two or three hours.

I would heat it up again and put back in the pre-heated slow cooker and cook for 4 hours at a higher temperature.

It is difficult to be more specific unless ones knows the model.

My slow cooker is about 40 years old, I inherited it from an aunt. It has two settings and I never use the lower setting, only the higher.

I have a new slow cooker. Today I made beef stew. I browned the cubed stewing steak in a frying pan after coating in flour, followed by the onions. Stock to cover. Cooked for 8 hours on low without removing the lid, as instructed in the booklet. Some of the meat was just edible, some was so tough we couldn't chew it. To make it worse, I made enough for 3 meals, Where did I go wrong? I am so disappointed.
