Crockpot Cooking Tips * liquids don't boil away as in conventional cooking.
Usually you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less. So always cook with the cover on... except to "brown off" the liquids after cooking.
* Recipes that will not adapt well are those that require broiling or deep frying. If you feel unsure about a step, go ahead and follow the recipe's directions as written.
* Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on low. Many recipes say "bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer." In a crock pot this is not necessary. Simply set the crock pot to low and forget it. Crock pot cooks so gently... so an extra hour on low need not worry you. Any recipe can be cooked on high the first two hours to reduce cooking time, and then turned to low.
