I finally bought a slow cooker. It's a 7-qt cooker, the All-Clad sold at
Williams-Sonoma.

In the instructions it says do not slow cook a whole chicken because the
temperature doesn't get hot enough. The unit is rated at 330W but
nowhere does it mention what the HI and LOW temps really are. Is this
typical, not cooking whole chickens?

I cooked a pot roast yesterday and the water and juices eventually came
to a low simmer (on HI). Is this typical?

The outside housing is stainless steel and in no time at all it was
super hot!!! Is this typical?

The glass cover isn't really a snug fit and has a little room to slide
around. Is this typical?

It did warn that the ceramic temp should match the food temp to prevent
cracking. I imagine that's typical!

Now I can try all those great slow cooker recipes! Just need an army to
feed. It's a big pup!
