+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.

+Crock-pot / Rival has said in Amazon responses that
+>>  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.
