What does this tool do?
Slow-cooker settings are not precise temperatures, but the low setting typically takes about twice as long as high to reach a similar result. This converter keeps the total heat exposure roughly constant when you switch settings.
The Formula
Low time ≈ high time × 2; high time ≈ low time ÷ 2Frequently Asked Questions
Is low always twice as long as high?
It is a practical rule of thumb, not a guarantee. Low usually runs around 90 °C and high around 100 °C, so the ratio can range from about 1.5 to 2.5 depending on the appliance and how full it is.
Can I convert a conventional oven recipe?
This tool only compares slow-cooker settings. Conventional oven recipes need a different conversion that accounts for moisture, pan size and the much higher temperature.
