You can adapt many conventional recipes for the slow cooker, particularly an oven or stove-top recipe that has some moisture in it (such as water, broth, wine, sauce, and canned soup).

As a rule, you should cut all liquid amounts in half when adjusting for the slow cooker.

Remember, too, that the LOW heat setting is approximately 200 degrees, and HIGH heat is about 300 degrees.

For every hour you’d cook something in the oven or on the stove, allow 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH.

(When in doubt, turn it on LOW and leave it all day or overnight.)
