It's not falling apart that easily so it probably needs some more time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-experts-advice#post-1497197 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 19:07:13 +0000 Boheme 1497197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a meat thermometer? You could check it with that, or do what I do... Poke at it with a fork and see if it falls apart :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-cooker-experts-advice#post-1497184 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 19:02:33 +0000 HLK208 1497184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cooking a pork shoulder in the crock pot today and read that it should take 6-8 hours depending on how hot the low setting is. Well my low setting, is very low and my high setting is average, so I put it on high for 5 hours and turned it to low for 1 more. Is that good enough? Or should it go in for another 2 on low?? </p>
