I've read in the reviews of the new slow cookers that they are all very hot.
I bought a new one a year or so ago. It always boils on high. When I turn
it to slow/low, it simmers. This is the oval shaped cooker. The old one
was really in the shape of a cylinder. I used it a lot and still have it,
but it is small in comparison.

The new one at the higher temperature does a boat-load of meat just as well
and faster and just as tender.
