No, they're not supposed to boil on 'High'. The purpose of that setting is to be able to get your dish up to a bare simmer more quickly at the start, after which you knock it down to 'Low' to get down to the hours of slow cooking the dish needs. How effective the 'high' setting is, will depend on the power rating of your specific appliance, which can range from a modest 120-130W right up to 350W (and possibly even more) in very recent models. (I have a wee 1-2 person one that's rated at just 85W and a 'family' sized one at 240W.)

Mine does and it makes it hard to slow cook from recipes without burning the food. I have to stir it more often and cannot leave it on while away at work. Which I thought was the idea of a slow cooker. I wish I could trade with you. Mine sure boils on high.

It may depend on where you live. Altitude affects boiling point. Regardless of noticeable boiling, your food will probably be raised to a temperature high enough to cook the food. Try placing a cooking thermometer in the food to measure the temperature.

Yes it does happen. Actually it always happens. Anytime you cook something over a long period of time with the lid on, it will come to a boil. No worries it will always be good.

No! Its just a slightly higher heat. I use mine on high for the first hour of cooking if I am short of time. Stuff will catch on the sides though if you cook on high!

It will simmer on high, but take about 3 hours.
