Crock pot and timing

The recipe I want (Apple Cider Beef Stew from the crockpot ws) says to cook it on low for 10-12 hours. That's a very big difference in planning for the timing of dinner.

How do I know which one it is in advance?

Anywhere in that time is good. Before that it won't be done, after, a little overcooked.

Re: Crock pot and timing

anything cooked for 10 hours will def be done - it could be done a little sooner too, depending on how big your pieces of meat are and exactly how hot your crock is. I would check it after like 8 - if it is done early, you can always just keep it on the "warm" setting.

I would do it for 10 hours
