Most of your favorite recipes can be cooked in the crock pot. Following some simple guidelines will help ensure your end results are delicious every time.
There are so many overlooked benefits of using a crockpot such as:
- Saves time – prepare your meals first thing in the morning and enjoy them as you walk through the door after work!
- Saves Money- you can purchase cheaper cuts of meat and slow cook for 8 hrs to produce tender, delicious meals.
- Saves energy – saves your energy as well as your energy bill. No more heating the whole house just to cook a meal. And no more slaving over the stove top preparing dinner after along day at work.
- Liquids – decrease to 1/2 the called for amount in your recipe. Milk should only be added during the last hour of cooking as it breaks down over extended periods of cooking time.
- Spices – add when cooking is almost complete as spices tend to evaporate over long cooking time.
- Beans – soak your beans first until they are soft for better crock pot cooking results.
- Cream soups – these are great substitute for milk and hold up for longer cooking
- Vegetables – cut about 1 inch thick and place in crock pot first as they need more cooking time and will be tender and delicious when the meal is done.
