How Long to Cook a Pork Roast in the Slow Cooker

In this recipe, the pork will cook faster than in some others because it is cut into smaller chunks. This pork roast recipe will cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. If you are cooking a whole roast, the time will be increased.

Having a good instant reach thermometer will help you out a lot here, so that you can check to see when your pork is done cooking.
