The *old* ones.

 

I had read recently (past 2 years?) that all the slow cookers are now set at

higher temps so they cook faster because the old, cooler ones that were set

for lower temps and took longer to cook made foods susceptible to the same

problems with bacteria as leaving food out on a table for 8 to 10 hours.

 

Now, I've owned a Crockpot since Rival first introduced them 30 or so years

ago, and not once in all that time did anyone in my family ever suffer from

food poisoning, nor have I heard about it happening to anyone else. But I

guess the companies just want to cover their butts because it *could*

happen.

 

Here's an article on slow cooker safety:
