Crock Pot/Oven Question - HELP URGENTLY NEEDED!!!

Hi everyone

I'm hosting a Kentucky Derby party late this afternoon (about 4:30 or so) and I have barbeque pork sandwiches on the menu.

I was going to put the pork roast (which is quite large) in the crockpot about 7 this morning and let it cook all day on low.

Well, the POWER WENT OUT for several hours this morning.  We just got it back about a half hour ago.  I put the roast in the crock pot on HIGH as soon as the power went on (about 9:55 AM).

Will it have enough time to cook (6 1/2 hours on HIGH) or should I transfer it to the oven?

I thought I might check the progress around 1:30 and then make my decision.

Also, I have one of those ceramic liners for my crock pot.  Would it be possible to put that in the oven or will it hurt it somehow?

Anybody have a clue?

Thanks!!!!

im going to say yeah, go ahead and use the crockpot on high. but keep an eye on it so that the meat doesn't dry out. also, i have the ceramic liner in mine too but im not sure if they're able to be put in the oven.

good luck and have a great time!

That is PLENTY of time!

I just cooked a whole pork loin for about 4 hours on high in my slow cooker. I never use the low setting unless I am doing something that might burn easily like a cheese dip.

Of course, if you want to do a VERY quick peek about 2 hours before dinner time, go ahead and pull at it with a fork to see how tender it is :)

Yes usually 4 hours on high is enough but it depends on the size. 6 hours should be more than enough time but I would check about 2 hours before the partry just to make sure in case you have to put it in the oven. I would not put the ceramic in the oven.

Okay, I'm feeling a little bit better about this then - thanks so much for all of your help!

I would have panicked and put it in the oven. I hope it turned out well for you!

I see I am way too late to help you out but do hope it turned out fine.

I think i'm a little late joining this discussion, hope everything turned out well at your party. I haven't done much crockpot cooking in the past few years, mostly just stove top and oven for me.
