Know that uncooked meat and vegetable combinations usually require 7-8 hours on "low" (about 200 degrees), and about 4 or more hours on "high" (about 300 degrees). Remember to add time for "high-altitude" cooking! (Cooking times/temperatures are roughly equivalent to oven baking in a covered casserole/pot at 350 degrees for 1 hour.)

Per Crock Pot Customer Service: Thank you for contacting Crock-Pot, a brand of Jarden Consumer Solutions. Both the Low & High settings cook at 215 degrees F., but they cycle differently. Therefore, the High setting will still cook the food in a shorter period of time than the Low setting will. Please remember that these are all approximate temperatures and they can vary depending on what you are cooking. It can also boil on High and Low. We do recommend that you always fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 - 3/4 of the way full with liquid or sauce, and you may also have to adjust your cook times accordingly. This will prevent the food from drying out and burning. Also: The warm setting is around 165°

Cooking time on high is generally half. All the recipes I've ever used say 8 - 10 hours on low or 4 - 5 hours on high. If the recipe has cooking instructions ONLY for low, there's a reason for it. If it's a tough cut of meat (flank steak, for example) it needs the long, slow cook time to make it tender.

Usually half of what it is for low, plus a bit more time... so for high, about 5 hours.
Low = 10 hours, High = 5½-6 hours

Usually half so that would be about 4 hours usually but some things cant be cooked on high because they will dry out.

I make serloin tip roast with carrots and onions on high for 2 hours then add potato hunks and cook for another 45 min. so I'd say bout 3 hrs.

You could probably shave off an hour or two. Still, for me, I always cook my beef in the crockpot longer than they say- I love it when it just "falls apart and cuts like butter".

About half of that. Maybe 5 hrs, depending on how large your crock pot is.

Probably between 4 and 5.

It won't turn out he same if you cook it on high. Beef won't get as tender. Can't rush...it's called SLOW COOKING ;)
