It only cooks on high. I had to search fir this info, but it did find it on a YouTube video. 

I totally agree with this. I went to use the slow cooker feature for the first time. It does not seem like you can adjust the heat. That’s ridiculous. This is a major disadvantage over the Instant Pot.

That’s frustrating – do you see steam coming out around the edges of the lid?

Hi Annamaire – I’m not familiar with the slow cooker function but there is a Pampered Chef Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/quickcookertipsandrecipes that may have the answers you’re looking for.

When you go to the slow cook setting, the default is 4 hours, but it can go up to a max of 10 hours. To do this, hit the time button. Then use the plus button to adjust in 30-minute increments up to 10 hours. Hope this helps!

Hi Kathryn – the silicone ring (gasket) absorbs odors that can be difficult to remove from the gasket. Generally, the odors don’t transfer to food, but on rare occasions, I have noticed a slight transfer of flavor to the outside of a cheesecake. So I have a gasket for cooking savory things and a gasket for cooking sweet, mild things like cheesecake.
