Oven vs Slow Cooker times

Here's some info we often use in our test kitchen.

* Before converting recipes, check the manufacturer’s guidelines for your particular slow cooker. Locate a recipe similar to the one you want to convert. Here's one you could use as a guide: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Flank-Steak-Roll-Up

Note the quantity and size of meat and vegetable pieces, heat setting, cooking time and amount of liquid.

* Since there's no evaporation, adjusting the amount of liquid in your recipe may be necessary. If a recipe calls for 6 to 8 cups of water, try starting with 5 cups. Conversely, recipes should include some liquid. If a recipe does not include liquid, add a 1/2 cup of water or broth.

* In general, 1 hour of simmering on the range or baking at 350°F in the oven is equal to 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high in a slow cooker. For more specific tips, see the "Cooking Times" list below.

Cooking Times
1. If your recipe says to cook 15 to 30 minutes, slow cook on low 4 to 6 hours or on high 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
2. If your recipe says to cook 35 to 45 minutes, slow cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours.
3. If your recipe says to cook 50 minutes or more, slow cook on low 8 to 10 hours or on high 4 to 6 hours.

Hope this helps!
