Why......why....why do I EVER cook anything on low in my crockpot. All these people complaining that new crockpots are actually cooking things too hot, so I decided to cook my stew on low (since I have a new 7qt. pot), so that it wasn't overdone, as I was not here to tend to it today, and here it is 6 hours later and the meat is NO WHERE CLOSE to being ready to eat. According to the recipe, it was low 7-8 hours and high 4-5. So, it should have been ready in another hour on low.....I think not. I cranked that baby onto high, but I have a damn meeting to go to in an hour.......will I have dinner tonight, or not?? Grrrrr
