Oven Conversion
Overview
Switch from slow cooking to braising in the oven. This tool uses the standard conversion rules for heat transfer to ensure your stew or roast is perfectly cooked.
💡
Pro Tips
Use a heavy, oven-safe pot like a Dutch oven with a tight lid for the best results.
Ensure there is enough liquid; braising typically requires liquid to come halfway up the food.
Check for doneness 30 minutes before the estimated time, as oven temperatures vary.

Fun Facts
"Cooking in the oven (braising) often results in better browning (Maillard reaction) than a slow cooker."
"A standard 'Low' setting is approx 88°C (190°F), while 'High' is closer to 150°C (300°F)."
"Slow cookers are extremely energy efficient, costing only a few cents to run for 8 hours."
