Converting Recipes: Converting your favorite recipes to the
crockpot or slow cooker is pretty easy. Here is a guideline for
cooking times. If you are cooking on the low setting, make sure that
any uncooked meat cooks for at least 8 hours.

Stovetop Cooking Time Crockpot Cooking Time
15-30 minutes High Temp: 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hrs
Low Temp: 4 - 8 hours
35-45 minutes High Temp: 3 - 4 hours
Low Temp: 6 - 10 hours
50 minutes - 3 hours High Temp: 4 - 6 hours
Low Temp: 8 - 16 hour

Seasoning: Spices will be diluted overtime as they cook in a
crockpot. So add spices in the last hour of cooking.

Ground Beef: Brown ground beef before adding to the crockpot. It
will taste better and have better texture this way.

Raw Vegetables: Uncooked vegetables like carrots, potatoes and
onions should be place at the bottom of the crockpot for faster
cooking.

Dairy: Add sour cream, heavy cream and other dairy ingredients
during the last hour of cooking.

Cleaning: Do not add cold water to a hot crockpot to clean it.
Either let it cool down or add warm soapy water.

Garnish: Many vegetables will lose their color in a slow cooker.
Add a colorful garnish like fresh parsley, chives, tomatoes, red
peppers or cheese for color.

Cooking Tip: Keep your crockpot at least half full to avoid
overheating and overcooking food.

Thickening: Add a cornstarch in the final hour of cooking to
thicken juices.

Use your crockpot outside in the summer to help keep your house
cool.
