Is it better to cook on high or low in Crock-Pot?
The LOW setting takes longer than the HIGH setting. Once that temperature is hit, the appliance stabilizes at that temperature to allow for the ingredients to be cooked. This means most recipes can be cooked on either setting. Or if a recipe calls for eight hours on HIGH, it can be cooked for up to 12 hours on LOW.May 1, 2019

Or if a recipe calls for eight hours on HIGH, it can be cooked for up to 12 hours on LOW.May 1, 2019
