Crockpot Tips
* Use cooking times as guidelines. Pots vary; each one is
not exactly the same, and fluctuations in power or
voltage may occur. Generally, figure that 1 hour on high
is about 2 hours on low. Some recipes should only be
cooked on high or low, so follow directions carefully.
* Because they cook more slowly than meats, generally
place fresh vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes,
celery, and onions, in the bottom and around the sides of
the slow cooker. Then place meats on top.
* To avoid curdling dairy products, generally add milk,
heavy cream, sour cream, or cheese sometime during the
last hour of cooking time. If heating cheeses for long
period, opt to use processed cheeses or cheese spreads,
because they can tolerate more heat. Some dessert recipes
use milk, cream, eggs, and cream cheese successfully, but
for the most part, these are cooked quickly on the high
heat setting.
* Beef cuts will be better cooked on low for 8-10 hours,
while chicken can be cooked on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
