I made Shabbos recently for a lot of guests and the cholent flopped - actually it didn't cook. I turned it on lo right before Shabbos. I did that cuz my mother suggested that, but she didn't realize I had a diff. crockpot than her.
I have the West Bend cooker,with hi, medium, lo and keep warm. it doesn't have walls all around, just on bottom. So I'm making shabbos again- anybody have this crockpot or one similar? Please tell me how to do it. (I don't feel like making a trial run before) Thanks!!

Hi I have the same brand but I cook it first stove top method and then only before Shabbos I put it on it's electrical element. Confused

I don't have the same brand, but I do this, put it on HIGH early friday morning, keep an eye on it to see how long it takes to cook and swich to keep warm before shabbat.

Tefila and mommy 3.5 thanks for the replies. I dont really want to do it in a pot, but I'll try Hi early friday.
But then what do I do once its cooked? put on warm right away? is that not too long for the food to be out- from fri. morn till shab day?

noone has ever died from my cholent! Very Happy

Even on high on the slow cooker, it will be cooking for about 6-8 hours, keep warm, is the 175 degrees, it will keep it safe to eat. Its the same as leaving the cholent on the blech overnight, possibly better IMO! obviously your low setting is too low, if 15 hours in a pot did not cook it through.
