VEGETABLES
• Place vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beet at the very
bottom of the stoneware pot and always cover them with liquids. They
usually take longer to cook than most meat.
• Vegetables cook well; they develop better flavor and don’t break down as
they would in your oven.
FISH
• Fish cooks quickly; add it for the last 15 minutes.
SEASONINGS
• Fresh herbs should be added at the end of the cooking cycle. If cooked too
long they lose their color and flavor.
• Dried herbs work well in the slow cooker and can be added at the
beginning. They can become stronger on longer cooking; begin with less
and add at end, if needed.
• Some spices and dried herbs, such as cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and whole
peppercorns can become quite intense with long cooking, so use sparingly.
• If using bay leaves, remember to remove before serving.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
