I really love making meals in a crock pot. It's so convenient to just toss in the ingredients, turn it on and walk away. Did you ever wonder if there was a method for converting regular recipes into crock pot recipes? Well, it's not an exact science, but I have come up with some pretty safe guidelines for conversion from oven time to crock pot time.

Oven time: 15 to 30 minutes
Crock pot on Low: 4 to 8 hours
Crock pot on High: 1.5 to 2.5 hours
Oven time: 30 to 60 minutes
Crock pot on Low: 6 to 8 hours
Crock pot on High: 3 to 4 hours
Oven time: 1 to 3 hours
Crock pot on Low: 8 to 16 hours
Crock pot on High: 4 to 6 hours
Much of the time required depends on what you are cooking. Meat takes more time to cook than vegetables, and the larger and thicker the piece of meat, the more time it takes. Chilies and casseroles take a bit longer to cook down. Dry beans also have a longer cook time.
These times are estimations, but at least now you have something to work with!
Happy Crock Potting!

This is my Ninja 3 in 1 cooking system. I use it all the time and I love it! You can use it as a stove top, an oven or a crock pot. I wrote a review on it the link is below.
