    My current one only has one setting. From memory, the auto function starts off quite high/fast and then automatically switches to a lower setting for simmering slowly.

    Low would use less power. I start my SC on high for an hour and then turn it to low for the rest of the day.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.
