My mom has a 1975 Sunbeam crockpot. It has temperatures listed on it instead of the high/low setting. I am cooking a soup that needs to be on high. What temperature would high equal to?

The most common models have a crockery pot insert and the heating elements are housed in the sides, so the heat actually surrounds the food. The two heat settings are LOW (200 degrees) and HIGH (300 degrees). The other type of slow cooker, or "multi-cooker" usually cooks from the bottom and might have a thermostat allowing a wide range of temperatures. Recipes cooked in this type of cooker might need occasional stirring. Every time the lid is lifted, add 20 minutes to the overall cooking time to keep them from scorching on the bottom.

i'm no longer precisely particular, however the crockpots of immediately (as oppsed to the 1970's) attain a temp nicely over 145ºF, keep the nutrients out of the "danger zone" top for bacterial develop and multiplication. Even on Low or keep heat, your nutrients is secure.

You haven't said what the temperature range is on the thing but I would go with upper middle temperature on it. Don't push it to the highest temp.
I would not leave the house while it is on. The thing is 32 years old for Gods sake.
