My wife an I usually do all of our cooking on low. Takes a tad longer but worth it.

I have only used it to bake pizza and am very happy with the results. It hadn't occurred to me to use it for other food that would be best if turned over. I'll try using it that way.

There are three temp settings: low, med and high. I have never used the low. Most of the recipes have you starting off melting butter or heating oil to saut your onion, shallot or leek on the high setting. There is a little pulse button that you use to stir while you are in this step.

There is only a Low, Medium and High Setting and it does "Cycle" at those Settings but I don't know what Temperatures they are at. You will need to Watch and Lower the Setting so things that you are Cooking don't Burn.

To Stacey: I have only used it at lowest setting for stew for easy clean up, which it held up fine. Medium heat would probably be okay as well, as it seems sturdy enough.

I cook gumbo in it on my stove top. Lower heat and always tending it. Never had a problem. Highly recommend !

I primarily use it to cook/grill. I imagine that vegetables are cooked at a low heat for 10 mins depending on the vegetable and quantity

Yes, that's probably best anyway. You are supposed to cook on lower temperatures with this cookware.

yes. there are two heat settings, so you can always use low... i'd think you'd be fine with it!

I thought it was pretty fast on low. Not as bad as some, but enough to splatter flour everywhere. I do not recommend!

The slow setting has performed as expected; the key is to make sure the pot is mostly full to avoid overcooking. I have used it overnight several times and the heat is consistent and has not burned anything or gotten too hot, on either setting. There are three "legs," which are actually molded as part of the metal bottom piece, and the pot is very stable. I had to actually push it to see if it would tip, and even then the bottom of the pot stopped it from going very far. Having used it quite a bit so far, it has never tipped or been off balance. The crock is heavy and the balance is good and safe. It's a handy little pot that gets used a lot. Hope that helps.

it should work fine on a low setting, i would start out low and slowly increase the temp as needed.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can lower enough to keep food warm but the safe way would be to use a metal trivet and stir often. Sounds like a fun time.

Yes but, not as hot as what is cooking. Low heat = warm to the touch. Med/High = hot

I did use it for a stew once. I had it in low temperature for at least 3 hours and it worked.

Yes, you can cook a smaller amount. The portion doesn't matter. It will still come out just as good.
