COOKING TIPS
•
If adding pasta or rice, partially cook them in a separate pot of boiling water until
not quite tender, then add them to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of
cooking.
•
If cooking fish, slow cook its sauce first, then add the fish and cook for 15 to 30
minutes to avoid overcooking.
•
Add dried herbs and spices at the beginning of cooking and fresh herbs when
cooking is complete.
•
Thaw frozen foods completely before adding to the slow cooker.
•
Dried beans should be soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed before slow cooking.
•
Conventional cooking recipes may be adapted for the slow cooker. While individual
recipes may require some experimentation, the chart below can be used as a
