Slow Cooker Tips:
- Preheat the crock before adding ingredients, or cook on the highest setting for the first hour to prevent bacteria from finding a happy home in your slow cooker.
- Place your meats at the bottom of your slow cooker so they have proper heat exposure.
- Don't over fill your slow cooker. It should be 1/2 to 2/3rds full to have proper food to heat ratio.
- Don't peak! When ever you life the lid of your slow cooker you are decreasing the temperature. It's okay to stir the ingredients, but not too often.
- Because slow cookers mellow out seasonings it is the perfect vehicle for recipes like 40 Garlic Clove Chicken.
