The timing comes from how full the cooker is--- and I think you will find that a doubled quantity in a 6-quart will still cook on low for about 5 hours, or on high for about 3 1/2 hours. <br /><br />enjoy!Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-53048629956282763022012-11-17T05:12:29.766-08:002012-11-17T05:12:29.766-08:00Hi!

Who knew?!) and the adults and the child all ate it up. My husband is a huge fan of his mom's sweet potatoes (with 1/2 lb of butter and 2 cups brown sugar....eeek!) and was hesitant to try these, but after one bite he was sold!

So, I threw it back in the crock and added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chicken broth, salt and pepper and turned into a soup. Creamed it in the blender, served it with toasted pumpkin seeds, seasoned with cayenne, garlic, sea kelp, and dollop of sour cream (yogurt would work too). It was delicious!
