Crockpot Conversions
I just saw this on Fix-It and Forget-It on facebook - some really handy information.
Many stove-top and oven recipes can be adapted for a slow cooker. If you want to experiment, use these conversion factors (remember, some slow-cookers are hotter than others):I love cooking with my slow cooker or crockpot, and I've tried some regular oven or stove-top recipes, but mostly I just guessed on the timing. This at least gives some basic guidelines to start with.
- Low (in a slow cooker) = 200º in an oven, approximately
- High (in a slow cooker) = 300º in an oven, approximately
- In a slow cooker, 2 hours on Low = 1 Hour, approximately, on High.
many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.

I can definitely attest to the fact that some slow cookers are hotter than others. We got a 6 qt. Hamilton Beach that consistently gets things hotter than our old 5 qt. Rival Crock-pot.
About the only thing I think we've done in a slow cooker that we normally do in the oven is Enchilada casserole. It certainly turns out good either way.
