Pasta and rice
If a recipe requires noodles, macaroni etc. to be added, cook on a conventional stove
until slightly tender and add to your slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. To
use rice, stir in with the other ingredients and add ¼ cup extra of liquid for every ¼ cup of
rice. Long grain rice gives better results.
Herbs and spices
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred. As the flavour of these is stronger, it is
recommended to use half the suggested amount. If using ground or dried herbs and
spices, add during the last hour of cooking. Always taste and season before serving.
Milk and cream
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended cooking. When possible,
add during the last hour of cooking.
