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.

Pro Tip:

The crock pot should be filled 2/3rds full when cooking for best results. Scale recipes up or down to fit your size crock pot.

Crock Pot 101

A properly working crock pot uses as about as much electricity and resources as a light bulb - making it more economical than using your stove! Also, it won't heat up your kitchen in the summer months.
