Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCR300SS 3-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: boils on low
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this a few days ago for $10.48 in Target and used it the next day to cook a 1.6lb chuck roast on low. I set it going at 10am and by mid-late afternoon it was boiling. Today I filled it with pure water as an experiment and started it going this morning on low. It's 6pm now, and there isn't any boiling. I conclude that the "low" temperature is below 100C (212F) but not much below, such that when you actually put food in it that lowers the boiling point of the water just a bit, it boils. I don't have a thermometer for these temperatures.
I did a bit of Googling and found that Crock-Pot increased the temperatures of its crock pots a few years ago. Their old models used to run cooler, apparently. The rumor is that they upped it for food safety reasons. Google "new-rival-crock-pot-always-boils" and you can read all about it. I think "Crock-Pot" is a "Rival" brand.
The chuck roast was actually very nice, slightly charred on the outside just like I'd cooked it in the oven. But that's not the point! I bought a slow cooker so I could cook low and slow, to avoid the production of Advanced Glycation Endproducts in my food if you're interested, and this one boils and chars my food. Like someone else said, I could do that on my stove top. I want something I can leave all day that doesn't char my food.
I just ordered the "Cuisinart PSC-350 3-1/2-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker" from Amazon as a replacement.
Well, at least the current one was cheap. Hey, the stoneware might make a nice salad bowl. Or maybe a flower pot...
Edit : I live at about 3500ft which will lower the boiling point of pure water in the Crock Pot to about 206F. So the pot may be less likely to boil your food if you live at sea level. However, since the water will get hotter at sea level this suggests, and the little bit of Googling I just did seems to confirm, that the Crock Pot will cook faster at sea level, not slower.
