Slow Cooker Tips
Cooking slow cooker dinner recipes is not hard! But I have come up with a few tips that will make it even easier for you during cooking and cleanup!
- Slow cooker size: The most common size to get for a slow cooker is 5-6 quarts. These are big enough to cook a meal for a family but not small like the appetizer ones.
- Spray: If you spray your slow cooker with some nonstick cooking spray before you put your food in! Then, your cleanup will be so much easier! You can thank me for this tip later.
- Preheat the Slow Cooker: A lot of people don’t think to do this but treat your crockpot like an oven. Turn it on about 20 minutes before, just while you are prepping your food. Heating it up beforehand will help with even cooking!
