• 6 you know i find it easy to convert any favorite stre recipe from stove top to slow cooker -- if it usually simmmers 35-45 minutes.that equals 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high -- recipes that cook 1-3 hours will be done in 8-12 hours on low or 4-6 on high.at least that is what i use as a guideline.
