How to Use a Slow Cooker
Slow cookers are an affordable cooking tool and a great way to make the most out of your everyday ingredients. Here are a few things to remember when using your slow cooker:- Meal Prepping. Unlike many other recipes, all you need to do is load your ingredients into the pot and let the slow cooker do the work for you. This is especially true if you want to cook a stew or a soup. If your mornings are busy, you can prepare everything the night before by putting the ingredients in the slow cooker dish, covering, and placing it in the fridge overnight.
- Loading the Food. A slow cooker is ideal for cheaper cuts of meat like pork shoulder, beef brisket, chicken thighs, and more. Trim the fat from your meat before you cook for a healthier meal option and use flour to create thicker sauces.
- Cooking. For best results, use the low setting for slow cooker cooking. Most dishes will benefit from the gentle, slow heat. Keep in mind that root vegetables take the longest to heat, so they should be placed at the bottom of the cooker near the heat source.
