Where to start with using your slow cooker

General slow cooker tips

Cooking with the slow cooker is easy! Usually it's just a matter of dumping in the ingredients and pressing start. You'll select a cook time (high or low) and then choose the amount of time. As a general rule of thumb, cooking on low takes twice as much time as cooking on high. Place oil/butter on the bottom, followed by your meat, hardy veggies, grains (if applicable), then liquid. That's really all there is to it!

Be careful with veggies

Because everything cooks for a long time in the slow cooker, it's the perfect appliance for juicy pulled chicken, moist meatballs and cooking delectably flavourful soups and stews. You can cook hardier veggies such as carrots and mushrooms in the slow cooker, but you should be careful with tender veggies such as broccoli, zucchini and greens. Adding them in within the last hour half of cook time usually does the trick without overcooking them.

Add pasta in last

If you'd like to make a soup or pasta dish in the Crockpot, you'll want to add the noodles in during the last half hour of cook time to keep the pasta from disintegrating or soaking up too much liquid. You can also cook other grains such as rice and quinoa in the slow cooker but you'll add those in at the beginning and typically reduce the cook time to 4 hours or less. Be sure to follow whatever reason you've chosen very closely if in doubt!
