How Long Should I Cook It

[Geri K]

If a dish usually takes:

• 15 - 30 mins, cook it for 1 - 2 hours on High or 4 - 6 hours on Low
• 30 mins - 1 hour, cook it for 2 - 3 hours on High or 5 - 7 hours on Low
• 1 - 2 hours, cook it for 3 - 4 hours on High or 6 - 8 hours on Low
• 2 - 4 hours, cook it for 4 - 6 hours on High or 8 - 12 hours on Low

Root vegetables can take longer than meat and other vegetables so put these near the heat source, at the bottom of the pot.

Nice info - this is helpful for converting recipes to use in the crockpot. Along with the cook time adjustments, it may also be necessary to decrease the amount of liquids used when cooking recipes in the crockpot.
