- Thaw raw meat or poultry completely in the refrigerator before adding it to the crock pot recipe.
- Fill your crock pot at least half full but no more than 2/3 full
- Don't peek. Opening the lid when the cooker is on low heat adds 20-30 minutes to your cooking time. It takes a while for the pot to recover the heat it lost. If you have to add ingredients or stir the contents, do so quickly and replace the lid.
- Do not cook any large pieces of meat in the pot. Cut it into pieces smaller than 2 pounds.
- Transfer leftovers in other containers as soon as possible and refrigerate or freeze. Food stored in the crock pot may not cool down in the refrigerator quickly enough to be safe.
Enjoy your crock pot. Its a great tool for the family cook!
