SLOW COOKER TIPS

Convert your favorites! You can adapt many conventional recipes for the slow cooker. Any oven or stovetop recipe that has some moisture in it―-whether from water, broth, wine, sauce, or canned soup―-should work beautifully in your favorite appliance. As a rule, you should cut all liquid amounts in half when adjusting for the slow cooker.

The low heat setting is approximately 200 degrees F and high heat is about 300 degrees F. For every hour you'd cook something in the oven or on the stove, allow 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. (When in doubt, turn it on low and leave it all day.)


Meat Matters. While you can cook just about any kind of meat in the slow cooker, some are more ideal candidates than others. Chicken on the bone, as well as cheaper, tougher cuts of beef, pork and lamb will turn succulent and fork-tender under the gentle, moist heat of the slow cooker. For maximum flavor and a more appetizing color in the finished product, remove skin from poultry and trim visible fat from all meats, then coat meat lightly in flour and brown in a hot skillet before adding to slow cooker.


The Finishing Touches. As your dish nears the end of its cooking time, it's time to add the finishing touches. If there seems to be too much liquid, remove the lid and turn the pot up to high, allowing some of the water to cook out. If you'd like to thicken or enrich the sauce, now is the time to stir in cream, sour cream, shredded cheese, or a slurry of corn- starch and cool liquid. Brighten up the flavors with salt and pepper, lemon juice or vinegar, and maybe a handful of fresh chopped parsley, basil or cilantro.
