I feel like the work I do on this site gives me an idea of how people are using their slow cookers and Instant Pots, and lately I’m feeling like the slow cooker is making a comeback! So I’m updating this great collection of All Day Slow Cooker Recipes for everyone who’s starting to use the slow cooker a bit more.
I’m old enough to remember when there was a collection of “Set it and Forget It” slow cooker cookbooks, but slow cookers have changed some since those days, so read the tips in this post for best results with all day slow cooker recipes. And once you master all-day cooking there’s a lot to love about dinners that goes into the slow cooker in the morning and cook all day, and having the slow cooker going all day will make your house smell great!
About Cooking All Day in the Slow Cooker:
Modern Slow Cookers definitely cook hotter than the ones our parents or grandparents used. This recipe collection has recipes that have specified in the instructions that they can cook for 8 hours (or longer) but there’s no way for me to know what type of slow cooker each blogger was using. Here are some tips for success when you’re cooking all day.
- If possible test out a recipe on a day when you’ll be home before you try cooking it all day when you’re away from the house.
- Always use the LOW setting when you cook all day.
- Programmable Slow Cookers (affiliate link) often switch to “keep warm” when the cooking time is up, which is great feature for cooking all day.
- When you want to cook all day while you’re at work (which might be longer than eight hours) refrigerate the ingredients the night before and put them into the slow cooker cold; that will stretch out the cooking time. (Storing ingredients in the fridge in the crockery liner isn’t recommended.)
- If you’re planning to cook all day, cut ingredients in slightly larger pieces.

This was a this was a great post, but we try to do Meatless Monday and there was only one meatless recipe compared with 5-6 pulled pork recipes and more shredded beef recipes. I love your blog posts, and will keep looking on your site for meatless crock pot recipes. I'm sure there are some!
