Answers:
Anything will boil at the highest temptures!.

A crock pot is for slow cooking mostly of large meals that you can eat of off!. So there should be no need for cooking on high unless it is for a crusting purpose or browning!.

Good thing you turned it down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rule of thumb for crockpotting is to leave an eighth of an inch from liquid to top of pot!. This happended to me once!. Just to be safe, spoon a little off the top!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's normal & water is probably condensation, not a problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
