how many hours?

[Poutine]

How many hours can I keep food on warm in my crockpot? I have a pork roast sliced think in it right now. I'm new to crockpot but it seems that if I cook on high( even for just one hour) it cooks too fast.

i actaully never use my high setting I leave things for a long time on low as long as it isnt something that is going to lose all its juices and become dry. Otherwise it should be fine to sit.

Just a note - warm and low are not the same thing! Some crockpots have more settings than others. For example, some have warm, low, and high settings. Low is for slow cooking. Warm is just for serving- don't leave your food in the crockpot on warm for longer than you have to- the food will not be kept at safe temperatures.

Thanks, My crockpot has the low high and warm setting. I guess I shoudn't cook on high anymore because it cooks the food way too fast. My roast beef was till hot after an hour on the warm settting.
