    Why do you want lower than "warm", which is already not hot enough to cook safely? You've tagged this "chili", implying you're actually cooking food in it

No, low and high are hotter settings intended to actually cook food.

Warm is a setting used to hold food that’s already been cooked (and is already hot)

Update: ‘warm’ may not keep the food above 140°F and out of the ‘food danger zone’. As some slow cookers just send a constant amount of energy, they do not correspond to specific temperatures (which is further dependent on what’s in the cooker, if it’s lidded, etc).

    And on plenty of models, "warm" can't be regarded as holding food hot enough to be safe indefinitely.

    An excellent point. It’s a function of how much food, evaporative cooling, etc.
