I would think that, since crock pot temperatures can vary, and they cook so slowly, the recipe gives an estimation of cooking time. As for when to add the pasta, as it says, add it 30 minutes before you plan to remove the stuff from the pot. If you plan to cook it for 8 hours, add the pasta after 7 and a half hours.

Concerning cooking times, I have seen recipes for smoking meats that say to smoke it for 5 to 6 hours. Same idea.

hi, sorry, I wasn't clear in my last message. I do understand the discrepancy in the times for high and low, what I'm confused about is the individual times. like for instance, if I cook on high it says 4 to 5 hours. so I'm not sure if its 4 hours or 5 hours,s so I"m not sure when exactly to put in the pasta. the recipe does say 30 minutes before. so do I do it at 3 and a half hours or 4 and a half hours. That's where I'm confused. Sorry I wasn't clear in my last message. I will send the recipe when I'm done.

Hi everyone. I have a recipe I'm making in the crock pot. It says cook for 4 to 5 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low. I'm wondering why there is such a big discrepancy there. Also it says during the last 30 minutes add in another ingredient, but I'm not sure exactly when to add in the other ingredient, because there is an hour window for when its done. Anyone had any experience with this. It's a pasta fagole recipe, and the pasta is the ingredient I have to add 30 minutes before its done.
Thanks.
Holly
