 Because the crock power and size are related, a crock on HI (or LO) might cook similarly, regardless of size.  The larger one would just cook more food if you needed that.  Having said that, very small crocks, such as those for nacho cheese dip, may have a single, underpowered((25w-45w)) setting and so may not practical for actual cooking.((although see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0lTwp_rRt0|this counterpoint]] on youtube)) Because the crock power and size are related, a crock on HI (or LO) might cook similarly, regardless of size.  The larger one would just cook more food if you needed that.  Having said that, very small crocks, such as those for nacho cheese dip, may have a single, underpowered((25w-45w)) setting and so may not practical for actual cooking.((although see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0lTwp_rRt0|this counterpoint]] on youtube))

 +Also note HI/LOW on different size crocks tends to cook similarly as the wattage is designed by the engineers to match the size.  In the examples above HI power is rated ~50w/qt.

 +>>  All of our current slow cookers do cook at higher temperature settings than our old ones. The Keep Warm setting is approximately 165 to 170 degrees F. Both the Low & High settings cook at 215 degrees F., but they cycle differently. Therefore, the High setting will still cook the food in a shorter period of time than the Low setting will.
  
 +In 2015 they were stating 209F, which lines up with the statement above.
