Crock pot Cooking Tips

1. For best results, most manufacturers recommend that
the slow cooker be half to three-quarters full. Refer to
the manufacturer's instruction book accompanying your
pot.

2. Keep perishable foods, such as meats, poultry, fish,
and vegetables, refrigerated until preparation and
cooking time.

3. If you opt to cut up vegetables or meats the night
before you're planning to cook them, be sure to package
each different item separately and store in the
refrigerator.

4. Purchase roasts and other large cuts of meats in a
size and shape that will fit conveniently into your slow
cooker. Otherwise, plan on trimming the meat to fit.

5. To end up with the least amount of fat in finished
slow-cooker dishes, use lean meats and skinless poultry,
well trimmed of fat.

6. In general, avoid using completely frozen foods in the
slow cooker. If necessary, thaw frozen ingredients in a
microwave oven before adding to the cooker.

7. To avoid heat loss, refrain from removing the lid
during the first three-quarters of the cooking time. If
you peek often, an extensions of the cooking time maybe
required. Remove the lid only to stir food or check for
doneness.
