Converting Recipes for Your Crockpot
By Tony Buel
Crockpots vary but the low setting is typically around 100 degrees and its high setting is around 300 degrees.
Knowing this, it is fairly easy to convert most for use in your slow cooker. Some adjusments to cooking times will be a judgement call on your part, but some simple guidelines should help. Just follow a few simple rules and you're on your way.
You should decrease the liquid since it does not boil away in a crockpot.
Add cheeses and other milk product towards the end of your cooking since they tend to break down if they are cooked for too long.
Brown any ground beef before adding to the crockpot. It will taste better and have better texture this way.
Add rice and noodles at the end of your cooking as well. They will turn mushy if they are cooked too long. You can cook these separately and then combine them when it's time to serve.
Add your spices at the end.
If a stovetop recipe calls for 15-30 minutes, the crockpot should cook it for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hrs at a high temperature and 4 - 8 hours at its low temperature setting.
I Want to Sit on My Rooster
It was only 12 hours ago, but it's so funny...It's like it just happened and I can hardly keep from laughing. Last night we ended up taking the kids to a movie. I wanted to see Princess Diaries 2, so we all ended up going. The boys weren't overly interested :-), but it was simply out of the question for Maegan and Mom to go alone!
Why Everyone Should Celebrate August 12th
Fifteen Years Ago today, August 12th, 1989, Wade and I got married. I've been excited about this coming day for a long time! I mean, really, how many people get to say they've been married this long - let alone LOVE it! I'm the luckiest woman in the whole world and I feel like celebrating.
How to Prevent Back To Homeschool Stress
Two years ago today, I was in the same place - getting ready for the new home school year. Except, 2 years ago, I didn't feel the way I do today. I can still remember how I felt. Not excited. Stressed. Worried. You see, the year I started to homeschool, I was excited. I couldn't wait to start. I bought my curriculum with enthusiasm. I could hardly wait to get it. In fact, I was ...

If a stovetop recipe calls for 35-45 minutes, the crockpot should cook it for 3-4 hrs at a high temperature setting and 6 - 10 hours at its low temperature setting.
If a stovetop recipe calls for 50 min to 3 hours, the crockpot should cook it for 4 - 6 hrs at a high temperature setting and 8 - 16 hours at its low temperature setting.
Following these guidelines will allow you to be able to convert a stovetop recipe to its delicious slow cooking counterpart!
