<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="1233074">
Yes, it is common for the lid to fit on loosely, as a gradual amount of steam and pressure should be allowed to escape so that the food is not overcooked. This is a deliberate design choice. Thank you.

What recipes do you recommend to cook in this crock pot? Would I be able to cook 1-2 lbs of pot roast in this?

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="1231570">
Yes, a 1-2 lb. pot roast would be perfect for this model. Ideally, you want the pot to be about 1/2 - 3/4 of the way full. This will provide the optimal cooking. Thank you.

Have you had reports of a terrible smell emitting from the ceramic pot interior? Only used this unit twice - both times terrible smell, and the odor was also transferred to food. (One recipe I make often, have made for years in other crock pots.)

The odor you are describing is definitely not a common occurrence. If you inspect the stoneware, do you see any cracks or imperfections in the glaze? If you do, we would not advise continuing to use the part. If there are no defects, you may need to deep clean your stoneware. To do this, fill the stoneware with a vinegar and water solution and allow it to sit for at least an hour. This should take care of any lingering odors.

Do I cook a chicken stock on low or high temperature?&nbsp; Thank you very much ;-)

<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: Isabelle</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="615617">
We recommend cooking the stock on low. Both the low and high settings will reach a maximum temperature of approximately 215 degrees Fahrenheit, but they cycle differently in that the low setting cycles off of that temperature more frequently. Therefore, the High setting will still cook the food in a shorter period of time than the Low setting will.
