Turn a conventional oven or stovetop recipe into slow cooker timings for both the low and high settings. Slow cookers trade speed for gentle, hands-off cooking, and the widely used conversion is that a recipe needing about 15 to 30 minutes conventionally maps to roughly 4 to 6 hours on low or 1.5 to 2.5 hours on high, scaling up from there. Enter your original cooking time and this calculator estimates the low and high ranges so you can plan around your day. As a rule, one hour on high is close to two hours on low, which is handy if you need to switch. Slow cookers vary, so lean on the ranges and check that meat is tender and cooked through.
