Slow Cooker Cooking Tips

  • For easy clean up, you can purchase slow cooker liners from the grocery store. The thin liners cover the inside of the slow cooker and are held in place by the lid. Cook up your favorite soup or chili, serve, pack up the leftovers and just toss the liner. The clean up takes seconds!
     
  •  One hour on high is equal to two hours on low
     
  •  Your food needs to reach 140 degrees F as quickly as possible. Try cooking on high for the first hour, to get the temperature of the food up and then change to the low setting for the remainder of the cook time.
     
  •  Most meat does not need to be pre-cooked before going into the slow cooker, with the exception of ground meat. Ground meats can turn an unappetizing gray color if placed raw into a slow cooker, so be sure to brown first on the stove.
     
  •  Don't lift the lid! Unless the recipe specifically tells you to stir during cook time, resist the urge to lift the slow cooker lid. Each time you lift the lid, you let out heat which could result in an additional 20 minutes of cook time for each lift.
