But it should cook well on low, no? I thought it just takes longer.

I won't swear to it, but I don't think I have ever cooked anything on just plain "low". Not even my shoulder roast recipe. Low scares me. I think it's like the wattage of a dim lightbulb in there. I want my stuff to boil for at least a while before I put it on low. Maybe I'm not such a good cook, but at least we've never (tfoo tfoo) gotten sick from my cooking.

Oh, I get sick all the time, from my own and everyone else's cooking and usually no one else does, I'm just extremely overly sensitive.

In the instructions booklet it says to cook on high 4 hours, or low for 8. So low is meant for cooking. If I put it on high it would be on that for 8 hours, would that be ok?

We're talking low btw, not the keep warm setting right?

It does with my crockpot. I make dinner all the time in the crockpot, leaving the raw food to cook on low all day.
Comes out perfectly each time.
The only thing I am very very careful with is never putting frozen food in a crockpot to cook, because the crockpot cooking process is too slow and bacteria can grow.

It might be OK to leave it on low, but it's going to depend on how much stuff in is the crockpot; you don't want it to burn.

Is yours the kind tht turns off after 10 hours? You might want to attach an off and on timer to it.
