How to Convert Recipes to Your Slow Cooker

It’s easier than you might think to adapt your favourite meals for the slow cooker – once you know a few basic rules. Every slow cooker works a little differently, so expect a bit of trial and error at first when converting recipes.

Our top tip? Don’t get frustrated if things aren’t going to plan straight away – practice makes perfect! For the best chance of success, make sure that you keep an eye on your food (especially towards the end of cooking).

Remember: you can always cook food longer if it’s undercooked, but overcooked food is trickier to save!

We’ve also included a handy conversion guide in our cookbook Pinch of Nom Slow Cooker.
