HELPFUL TIPS FOR CROCKPOT COOKING

 

* Allow sufficient cooking time on

" low " setting.

 

* -- liquids don't boil away as in conventional

cooking.

Usually you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking

instead of

less.

 

* Cook with cover on -- except to " brown off " liquids

after

cooking

 

* it's " one-step " cooking: many steps in the recipes

may be

deleted.

 

* Recipes that will not adapt well are those that

require

broiling or deep frying. If you feel unsure about a step,

go ahead

and follow the recipe's directions as written.

 

* Most uncooked meat and

vegetable combinations will require

at least 8 hours on low. Many recipes say

" bring to boil,

then turn down to simmer. " In a crock pot this is not

necessary. Simply

set the crock pot to low and forget it.

Crock pot cooks so gently...so an

extra hour on low need not

worry you. Any recipe can be cooked on high the

first two

hours to reduce cooking time, and then turned to low.
