>That's basically all it is. I don't think slow cookers are very accurate at keeping a certain temperature though - if your meat is perfect at 150 and overcooked at 170 and the cooker keeps fluctuating between those temps, it'll end up overcooked. Depends I guess.

here is interesting and cheap solution to it,

"Here is a cheap temperature controller which I use with a crock pot.
It only costs $21 and keeps the temperature within 1 degree of the set point".

I guess some slow cookers might have more accurate temp control with shorter cycles (smaller range) of temperature difference between ON and OFF cycles,
this digital controller is easy to use you just plug it into the wall outlet and plug slow cooker into it.
