Is 4 hours on high the same as 8 hours on low in a slow cooker?

The difference between "High" and "Low" on slow cookers seems to differ with every brand and model. One thing that is consistent, though, is that food takes seven to eight hours to reach a simmer point (around 210°) on low; versus three to four hours on high .

How do you keep potatoes from getting mushy in a crock pot?

Place starchy potatoes under more delicate carrots, and cut more fragile ingredients into larger pieces . Also—don't forget that you can add vegetables in at the last moment.

Should you toast your bread before making French toast?

Use stale bread or toast the bread until it's golden-brown . It needs to be sturdy to hold up to the egg mixture. If the bread is fresh from the bag or you toast it too lightly, the finished dish will be soggy. Soak the toasted or untoasted bread for about 10 seconds per side to achieve the optimal texture.

What happens if you slow cook on high instead of low?

Let's say you want to slow cook a pork roast recipe that calls for 8 hours on Low, but you need it done in much less than 8 hours. Switching to High for the sake of time savings can leave you with a roast that's dried out or even burned on the exterior, but undercooked and not at a food-safe temperature in the center .

Is 3 hours on high the same as 6 hours on low?

Change cooking times depending on your schedule. One hour on HIGH generally equals two hours on LOW .

Is 5 hours enough in slow cooker?

Most slow cooker meals take 8-12 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high , but there are also recipes for slow-cooked meat that take up to 24 hours. If you want to avoid overcooking your dish, follow the given guidelines as closely as possible.

How do you know when French toast is cooked enough?

"You know when your French toast is done when the center is set and doesn't have a runny consistency once cut ," Oliveira says. If you're cooking a thinner French toast or omitted eggs from your soaking liquid, a quick pan-fry will do the trick, with 3 to 6 minutes on each side.

Why are my potatoes still hard after cooking in the crockpot?

Insufficient Liquid : If there wasn't enough liquid in the crockpot, it could have caused uneven cooking. Potatoes need to be fully submerged in liquid to cook evenly. Old Potatoes: Very old or stored potatoes can become starchy and may not soften as well during cooking. It's best to use fresh, firm potatoes.

Do you put vegetables on top or bottom in crockpot?

Layer Ingredients. If you are cooking vegetables and meat together, place root vegetables in a layer at the bottom of the pot and place meat on top. For more delicate vegetables, add them last.

Why is my toast always soggy?

When toast is allowed to lay flat down, condensation can build up and get trapped on the underside . This moisture then seeps back up into the bread, causing one side of your toast to become soggy.

How to make toast crunchy?

A heat of 350º will cause your toast to be more browned, while a heat of 400º will result in a crunchy texture. Remember that the higher the temperature is, the less time it needs on each side. Try leaving your toast in for four to five minutes on each side.

What happens if you soak French toast too long?

The first is using fresh bread, which soaks up too much of the egg mixture and doesn't cook through, remaining eggy and soggy in the middle . Leaving the bread in the egg mixture for too long is another route to soggy French toast.

Why does my toast get soggy?

Toast becomes soggy when moisture forms between the warm underside of the bread and the item it's served on . The hotter your toast is, and the less porous your serving surface is, the more moisture will form. While toast racks can solve this issue somewhat, not everyone has one.

When Cris showed me this recipe, I knew she was a good sister! She knows that I love all things blueberries AND that I love french toast, so being the good sister that she is, she told me I might want to make it. Big sister takes care of little sister!

Crock Pot Blueberry French Toast Notes:

While I made this in good ol’ Sir Hamilton (my 6-quart Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker), my first choice would have been Cassie (my 9×13 Casserole Crock Pot) if she hadn’t been previously engaged in a yummy recipe at the time. I could have waited to make this Crock Pot Blueberry French Toast, but I didn’t wanna. 😉
Momma taught me the secret to her french toast (aka the best french toast ever made) a long time ago. Vanilla. Vanilla. Vanilla. While it may seem like there is a lot in this recipe, trust me. It. Is. Good.
If your kids are anything like mine, they will be gobbling this up. So if you have kiddos running around your house, be sure to make a full batch or double batch…according to how many kids you have! Iyla was the first to try this in our house. After one bite, she was very impatient for the following ones. She did not appreciate if Mommy snuck a bite in if that meant she had to wait at all. She LOVED it! And this mommy loved that she was devouring her blueberries!

  If I needed double the amount of servings, I would make 2 batches. I am afraid doubling the recipe would leave the center not cooked enough. Enjoy!

  Hi Rachel!
  I haven’t tried cooking this on high. If you do, watch it closely so that you can rotate it as needed and make sure your edges don’t burn. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

I made it for our Sunday morning breakfast and it is amazing. I had 3 layers of bread but the rest of the ingredients were the same amount as called for. I made a quick blue berry syrup to go with it. Everyone commented how good it was . This is definitely a keeper. 😊

Made this for the first time yesterday, for Mother’s Day brunch. It was delicious and a big hit with everyone. Used brioche bread and went three high(11 slices) as I could not get 6 slices across.

  Hi Erica!
  I would use two crock pots. I’m not sure that it would get done in the middle without burning the sides if you doubled it and used a 6-quart slow cooker. You are going to be the favorite in your large group if you are serving them this! It is so yummy! Enjoy!

For the Crock Pot Blueberry French Toast can I freeze it after I make it. There is only one person that likes Blueberries in the household. maybe you can tell me how to make a smaller portion, I would appreciate it.
Love al the recipes that you post try to make at least one every night.

This…is…fabulous!! Okay, so I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I used cubed brioche instead of sliced bread and only half of what the recipe called for. Used the same amount of everything else, and substituted a can of blueberry pie filling instead of the fresh blueberries. I missed the part where you’re supposed to refrigerate it overnight, so I layered it all in an 11 x 7 baking dish, chilled it for two hours and baked it at 350 degrees for an hour. Oh my goodness! It was so good that my son and husband each had third helpings. Another keeper–thanks Aunt Lou! 🙂

Can you make this without refrigerating it overnight? I’ll never find room for the crock in my refrigerator.

  If you have a large cooler, place your frozen packs in it with the crock.I always put the frozen packs in ahead of time to start the cooling process. I can’t get anything large in y ref either.

This looks amazing! I have the 13×9 casserole crockpot, would the timing be the same if I used that? I am looking for more recipes to use in that. Can I convert any casserole type recipe for it? I’m just not sure if it would cook things quicker because it’s not as deep as a regular crockpot.

  Hi Michelle!
  I have not tried this recipe in my casserole crock yet, but think this recipe would be perfect for it! Most of the recipes that I have made in my casserole crock have used approximately the same timing. As always, make sure you watch it closely the first time so you can know exactly how your crock pot cooks a recipe.
  We have a ton of recipes that we have used in our casserole crock pot! Check out this page for a list of them: http://www.recipesthatcrock.com/category/uses-casserole-crock/

This looks and sound delicious! I love using my crock pot-especially during the hot & humid summers we have! I have recently had to toss out my crock pot that I have had since 1983. It was a good one and it was free-I earned it as a hostess gift from a Tupperware party! I am wondering which crock pot you would recommend. My old one had the lift out crock, which I loved. I am looking at the ones that have the locking lids, which are great for transporting. Do you have a favorite brand among the many that you own? Thanks!

  Hi Cindy!
  Now that’s a good crock pot! My trustiest sidekick is good ol’ Sir Hamilton (my 6-quart Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker). The removable insert is a cinch to clean, you can use the insert on the stove top for browning, mine cooks evenly every time and it is insulated, so if you bump the insulated part, you aren’t going to be burnt…which is nice for my clumsy self and for the little hands in my house. It does not have a locking lid, but it has held the spot of “favorite crock pot” in my house ever since I first started using it. (Affiliate link below) Good luck in your search!
