Tips for Slow Cooking
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing Lid results
in major heat loss and cooking time may need to be extended.
However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space between
top of Crock and food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule
doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place
all ingredients in Crock, cover with Lid, and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, simply place Crock in Slow Cooker.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2
hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are
perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid
in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of Crock.
• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in
bottom of Crock.
