You can cook anything in a slow cooker from your favorite recipes for the oven

here is a few guidelines

If a recipe says: Cook in slow cooker:

 

15-30 min 1 1/2- 2 hours on High or 4-6 hours on low*

35-45min 3-4 hours on high or 6-10 hours on low*

50min-3 hours 4-6 hours on high or 8-18 hours on low*

 

* Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require 8 hours on low.

SOME TIPS

 

1. Use less in slow cooking usually about 1/2 the recommended amount. 1 cup is

enough for any recipe unless it has rice or pasta. Soups add water or stock

just enough to cover. If milk based soupshave no other liquid for initial

cooking add 1-2 cups water. Add milk, sour cream or cream in the last hour of

cooking they tend to break down in extended cooking. Condensed soups may be

substituted for milk and can be cooked for extended times.

 

2. Use leaf or whole herbs prefered ( use 1/2 the recommended amount because

their flavour will increase ) If you use ground herbs add the last hour of

cooking.

 

3.Dried beans should be soaked overnight and/ or boiled before adding to a

recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring

to a boil. Boil 10 min then reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours until beans are

tender. Drain and add to recipe. Beans should be completely soft before you

add them to sugar or tomato mixture

 

4. If a recipe calls for cooked noodles, cook noodles before till just tender al

dente then add to cooker. If rice is called for stir with other ingredients add

1 cup extra water per 1 cup raw rice. Use long grain converted rice for best

results in long day cooking.
