TIPS & TRICkS
•
During slow cooking liquids do not boil away. Begin with a small amount of liquid and
add more during the cooking process when needed. If there is too much liquid at the
end of the cooking process, set the slow cooker to
high
. Cook on this setting to reduce
the liquid.
•
For better flavor do not crush or ground herbs and spices.
•
If cooking on
low
setting, some recipes may require 8 hours.
•
Meats with a high fat percentage can influence the flavor of the dish. Browning or pre-
cooking can reduce the fat.
•
Cut foods into smaller pieces. They will cook faster than foods left whole.
•
Some vegetables require a longer cooking time. Place vegetables like potatoes, carrots
or beets on the bottom of the non-stick insert. Cover with liquid.
•
Add pre-cooked rice or pasta only at the end of the cooking process.
