subject: Helpful Advice For Using Slow Cookers [print this page] Slow cookers or crock pots are practical to use. They are especially useful for people who just learn to cook or people who do not like cooking because using them are very simple. They are also very efficient and safe. You can leave you food cooking in your crock pot and do something else while you wait for the food to cook. You can even sleep or leave the house while your food is cooking without afraid of burning the house down.
The basic for using a crock pot is just to fill it with the ingredients, turn it on, and wait for the food to cook. Not all dishes or ingredients are suitable for this appliance. The best types of food for a crock pot are stews, soups, rice, or porridge.
Some people suggest to set the cooker on HIGH for an hour and turn it down to LOW for the rest of the cooking time. The length of time that is needed to cook each ingredient or dish is different. It is important that you read the instruction that is included in the packaging for further information.
Meat will take about eight hours to cook. More economical cut meat is delicious when it is cooked with a slow cooker. However, you need to remember to cut out the fatty tissue or the fat will melt during the cooking process. Browning the meat before cooking them in the pot will add more flavor to your dish.
Seasonings and seafood should be added the last. Add them about an hour before the dish is done. You need to add seafood last because seafood cooks very quickly and turn rubbery when it is cooked too long.
Do not fill the container completely so your food will cook properly. Fill the pot two third full. You should also be aware that every time you open the lid, you need to add more cooking time to your dish, so avoid doing this too often.
