"MASTER THE MYSTERY OF THIS APPLIANCE AND IT WILL SPEND MORE TIME ON YOUR COUNTER TOP THAN IN YOUR CUPBOARD"

DON'T FILL IT UP:

Your slow cooker should be one-half to two-thirds full. If it's to full, it will take to long to start simmering. If it's not full enough, you risk overcooking.

KEEP IT THRIFTY:

This long, moist cooking method is ideal for inexpensive cuts of meats, since it provides plenty of time for tenderizing.

LEAVE IT ALONE:

Don't lift the lid, unless you want to extend the cooking time by 20 minutes. To check the progress, spin the lid until condensation falls off. If the recipe gives you reason to lift the lid, replace it quickly.

CUSTOMIZE IT:

If you want to thicken the juices or concentrate flavor,s, remove the lid and cook on high for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

STICK TO THE COOKING TIME:

Slow cookers work by simmering food at a low, even temperature, so adhere to the recipe.

I hope some of these tips help you!!!
