Recommended Cooking Times
• Always use a food thermometer to check that food is
properly cooked.
• When adapting conventional recipes for use in a slow cooker,
the cooking times should be extended. For example, recipes
that call for 15-30 minutes of cook time should be cooked
in the slow cooker for 4-6 hours if using the Low setting.
Additionally, recipes that require a cook time of 1 hour or 1-3
hours should be cooked in the slow cooker for 6-8 or 8-12
hours on Low, respectively. These are only general guidelines
and may be altered to suite your particular needs.
As a general point of reference, chicken or beef
(approximately 3-4 lbs) should be cooked for 3-5 hours on
High or 5-6 hours on Low. Chicken or beef based soups,
stews, and chili (approximately 3-4 quarts), should be
cooked for 4-5 hours on High or 6-7 hours on Low.
Remember, cooking times will vary depending on the volume
of food, ambient temperature, and types of food being
cooked. Always check the food with a food thermometer to
ensure that the food is properly cooked.
