Crock Pot Cooking

Don't overlook the slow cooker as being just as valuable a kitchen tool as your stove or oven. While it's long been recognized as an ideal way to cook roasts and stews, it can do so much more - and we'll show you how. Our recipe collection will let you bake bread, fix breakfast, and even make a cake (in addition to all the tasty dinner and side dish recipes).

Tips for cooking vegetables in the crockpot

Place vegetables in the bottom of the crockpot and place meat on top. Fresh vegetables like carrots and potatoes take the longest to cook. Frozen vegetables may be placed on top of meat as they usually do not take as long.

Go Green!

Crockpots are good energy savers
A properly working crockpot uses as about as much electricity and resources as a light bulb - making it more economical than using your stove! It also won't heat up your kitchen in the summer months.

Cooking Times

Plan accordingly
Crockpot cooking times listed with the recipes are guidelines - actual cooking times may vary based on the brand of crockpot, size, amount of liquid/food, etc. Get to know your crockpot so you can adjust times accordingly.
