Crock Pot Cooking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obviously, I need to do a lot of work on
this page!! More soon, I hope!!
A few tips for crockpot cooking...
- No frozen meats. Always defrost meats and
poultry before placing them in a slow cooker.
- Smaller chunks. Cut whole chickens and
large pieces of meat into smaller chunks to ensure thorough cooking.
- Layer your ingredients. Vegetables should
be placed in the bottom and up the sides of the pot, then layer in the meat on top.
- Fill ‘er up. It’s best to fill a
slow cooker to at least one-half and no more than three-fourths full.
- Keep the lid on. Each time you lift the
lid you’ll lengthen the cooking time, this can be anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes.
