There is one temperature setting on this model. When plugged in, the temperature of this unit is equivalent to the LOW setting on Crock-Pot slow cookers that have HIGH and LOW settings. The temperature stabilizes at 209&amp;deg;F and it takes approximately 7-8 hours to reach the simmer point. Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acid foods. Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed before boiling. Discard the water after soaking or boiling.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via https://www.crock-pot.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat.

Is this small portion possible? If so, do you have a recipe? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: tshumas</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="2940118"> Hi CrockPot CustomerCare: A follow-up. Thank you so much for your answer. I own an official CrockPot, but it the large size for making a meal for a family, So, obviously, it is much too large for this daily project. My neighbor has your 1.5-liter Crock Pot version (smallest size I could find) which has low and high heat settings. However, I cannot find this CrockPop anywhere. The new version has no buttons. It is plug it in and forget about it. So, I was afraid to use this model cooking my oatmeal overnight, until I heard back from you. I tried a mini experiment. Looked at recipes online, but most used water only; I did find 2 (using whole milk). Nonfat milk is closer to water, so, I mixed 0.5 cup dry oatmeal (my version described above), 1 teaspoon organic flax seed, and 10 ounces of nonfat milk. Not much volume here!!! Plugged it on. Turned button on &amp;quot;high.&amp;quot; After one hour - stirred. Then cooked 5 more minutes. Stirred. Unplugged. Let oatmeal rest 5 minutes. Then scoop into a bowl using a spatula and it was perfect. Super easy clean-up. The absolute best home-cooked oatmeal I ever tasted. Problem: if I purchase your new CrockPot 1.5-quart size, where do I find one with &#39;low&#39; and &#39;high&#39; slow-cooking options?
