My slow cooker doesn't have High and Low. It has a dial with Temperatures. I have just been guessing and it's probably been too high as things are done very quickly (2 hours instead of 4-6). What should I set it at for low or high?

I love the cheat sheet for time conversions!
My favorite thing to make in the slow cooker is broth. I keep a freezer bag with veggie scraps and one with bones. When the bags are full, I dump them in, add some peppercorns (whole), and cover with hot water. Then I let it go on low for a full day (usually two eight hour cycles - start one before bed and the other before work.) When you walk in after a hard day at work and smell that, it's blissful. Double strain it, toss in your soup fixin's, and voila, dinner! (Or put it in freezer containers for a thaw and use option.)

I've made turkey chili, corned beef and cabbage (add the cabbage during last half hour to keep it crispier), delicious cheesy pizza casserole, pot roast, meatloaf, and today I'm making Indian Spiced Chicken (wanted to know how to adapt the recipe and found this great article).

"Chicken: Be weary of the cut of meat you are using...."
Really? I should be tired ("weary") of using chicken? How about being WARY of the cuts? lol.

does meat always have to be completely submerged in liquid to cook properly (whether it be stock etc.)?

I've been wanting to dry making cheesecake in a slow cooker. I've had good results for pot roasts, beef stew, tapioca pudding, boiled peanuts, aloo gobi, Cincinnati Chili.

All sound amazing, HalfPint! How are you planning to adapt the cheesecake recipe?

Apparently you put the cheesecake pan into the slow cooker, cook on low until done. America's Test kitchen has done this and the results seem to please even the picky Chris Kimball. I heard it on ATK Radio podcast a few weeks ago.
