Tips:
- Prep ahead: Save time in the morning by prepping ingredients the night before. This includes chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and even assembling the dish in the slow cooker.
- Choose the right slow cooker: Not all slow cookers are created equal. When choosing one, consider the size, shape, and features that are important to you. For example, some slow cookers have a programmable timer, while others have a keep-warm setting.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Leave enough space for the food to circulate and cook evenly. A general rule of thumb is to fill the slow cooker no more than two-thirds full.
- Cook on low for best results: Most slow cooker recipes recommend cooking on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Cooking on low will give the food more time to develop flavor and become tender.
- Add liquids as needed: Some slow cooker recipes call for adding liquid, such as water, broth, or sauce. This helps to prevent the food from drying out and also adds flavor. If you find that the food is too dry, you can add more liquid during the cooking process.
- Don't lift the lid: Opening the lid of the slow cooker allows heat to escape, which can slow down the cooking process and make the food less tender. Only lift the lid when you need to add ingredients or check on the food.
