* Recipes for many stews and braises, such as this Lamb and Pumpkin Couscous from the CIA’s One Dish Meals, can be adapted to prepare in a slow cooker. Here are a few general guidelines:
• If the recipe says to cook: Slow cook on low: Slow cook on high:
15 to 30 minutes 4 to 6 hours 1˝ to 2 hours
35 to 45 minutes 6 to 10 hours 3 to 4 hours
50 minutes to 3 hours 8 to 18 hours 4 to 6 hours
• Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on low.
• As a rule, you should cut all liquid amounts in half when adjusting for the slow cooker.
