Quick Crockpot Tip

This one's for you Lynda! You can convert any of my easy oven recipes to crock pot or crock pot recipes for oven using these simple conversion tips. Of course, all crocks cook a bit differently and so do all ovens so these are just approximate. Use whatever method works best with your timing that day.


Crock Pot to Crock Pot:
Crock pot for 8-10 on low is the same as on high for 3-4 hours.

Oven to Crock Pot:
350 for an hour is about the same as 6-8 hours on low
300 for 30 minutes is about the same as 3-4 hours on low

And you can always cook longer in a crock pot as long as you add plenty of liquid. So, if you've got the whole day, use the crock pot; just an hour or two, use the oven. Either way, throw together a few ingredients and you'll feel like your mom was there cooking for you today.

A 3 Ingredient Crock Pot Garlic Chicken Recipe
1 package boneless, skinless chicken
1 bottle ranch dressing
2 t. minced garlic

Thow in the crock pot and cook on low 8-10 hours. I usually rinse the ranch bottle half full with water and put the water into the crock pot too since my current one cooks on the hot side.

Whip up some 90 seconds Uncle Bens rice (the pilaf is to die for!) and some canned vegies and you've got yourself a home cooked meal. How simple is that?
