Tip - Crockpot Tips

CROCKPOT TIPS:

* Add spices and herbs toward the end of cooking time.
(if possible)

* Keep the lid on tight, you don't want all your heat and
steam to escape.(or add 15 minutes for every time you peek)

* For color, you may want to brown meats before adding to
crockpot. Liquids don't boil away as in conventional cooking,
so you will have more liquid at the end of cooking time than
you started with.

* Vegetables don't overcook in a crockpot, so all vegetables
can go in at the same time.

* Don't add milk, sour cream or cream till the last hour of cooking.

* Keep some cooked ground beef in the freezer to make soups,
stews, chili, etc.
