I would cook on low about 5-6 hours. It isn't a straight conversion for cooking times.

Answer 3

2 Lb Roast In Crock Pot

Answer 4

For conventional cooking, you would indeed cut the cooking time in half, not so with crock pot cooking.......a 2 lb roast will take about 3-5 hrs on high, 6-8 hrs on low.......depends on how "fall apart" you want your roast to be.....Hope this helps,and Enjoy!!!

Answer 5

On low about 6 hours should do the trick. I like mine to cook as long as possible it's more tender that way. Happy eating!

Answer 6

Did you smell it? It's probably because it has started aging. If it smells okay you can leave it in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours and it will be super tender. Best of Luck!

Answer 7

You can divide it or really it depends on how well you want it cooked. Some do like their meat to be a little rare.

Just try it now and then to see if the insides looks as you wish it to be rare wise.

Answer 8

Sometimes when I have over cooked a roast in the crockpot, it doesn't always taste tender, it can come out dry. But I don't know if that is from overcooking or if its the cut of meat.

Answer 9

It will be ready in 3-4hrs, but you can keep it going for 8 hrs and it will still be tender.
