Re: More Tips On Crockpot Cooking
and a little more about crockpot use:
Slow cookers come in many sizes, from tiny 1-quart pots all the way up to 6-quart models big enough to hold a small turkey. But there is more you can do than just cook in them:
* Some enterprising cooks use slow cookers to make bread dough rise. Plug in the slow cooker just long enough to get the ceramic liner hot. Then unplug it, oil the liner and put in your bread dough. With the cover on, you don't have to cover the dough with a cloth, and the dough rises in half the time.
* Set your slow cooker on low to keep cinnamon rolls and tamales warm.
* You can keep water hot in a slow cooker all day. When your baby is ready for a bottle, you don't have to wait for a pot of water to boil. Just put the bottle in the Crock Pot, and it is ready in a couple of minutes.
* Use it as a punch bowl for hot mulled cider.
