Basic Crock Pot Tips

Basic tips for using a slow cooker.

A slow cooker comes with a glazed ceramic container or crock, encased in an outer metallic casing. Inside the metal case is an electric powered heating element. A tight fitting clear dome lid allows condensation to run down inside forming a water seal that aids in the retention of flavor and heat. These small electrical appliances became popular in the 1970's. Today, a wide range of slow cookers are available. The one quart model is popular for singles and couples, the four to six quart for families, and the twelve quart for entertaining or large group meals.

If you have enough discipline to think about dinner at breakfast time, your reward can be a meal that's ready when you come home. The slow-cook crock pot not only improves the variety and flavor of the foods you serve, but it can cut the time you spend in the kitchen almost in half. The slow cooker doesn't replace the stove top or the oven because it cooks foods in a certain way. Main dishes, casseroles and soups are particularly adaptable to this method of cooking.

Only load up the crockpot 1 / 2 to two thirds full. The meals will not cook fully in the event that the appliance happens to be filled to the brim. If the food and liquid level is lower, the ingredients will cook too quickly.

Remove skin from poultry, and eliminate extra fat from meats. Fats will melt with long cooking times, and will add an unpleasant texture to the finished dish. Fatty foods will also cook too quickly.

140 degrees is the temperature the food must reach as fast as possible. In the event that you happen to be at home during the cooking times, test the food temperature after four hrs of cooking on LOW - the temperature ought to be at least 140 degrees. In the event that it is not, there is a problem with your crockpot and you need to get a brand-new one.

For food safety reasons, it's a good idea to prepare th food on HIGH for the initial hour to very quickly bring the temperature up to 140 degrees. Right after that turn the dial to LOW and finish cooking.

The LOW setting is about 200 degrees, and the HIGH setting is about 300 degrees. Take note that both of these temperatures are well above the minimum safe temperature of 140 degrees.

Experts suggest you do not place frozen foods inside the crockpot. All foodstuff should be defrosted prior to cooking so that the food temperature can achieve a hundred and forty degrees in a timely manner.

Most meats will need 8 hours of cooking on LOW. Try cheaper cuts of meat - not only do you save cash, but these types of meats work better in the crock pot. More cost-effective cuts of meat have a lot fat, rendering them far more appropriate to crockpot cooking. Moist, lengthy cooking times bring about very tender meats.

Ground meats have to be prepared in a skillet before cooking in the crockpot.

Seafoods need to be added during the last hour of cooking time, or it will overcook and also have a rubbery texture.

Large bits of meat can be browned before cooking in the crockpot, but this measure isn't vital. Browning adds color and aids in flavor development.

One hour on HIGH is the same to two hours on LOW.

Cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce usually tend to become bitter if cooked for a long time. Make use of a small amount and add toward the end of the cooking time.

Add tender produce like tomatoes, mushrooms and zucchini during the last 45 minutes of cooking time so they don't overcook.

Dairy products should be added during the last 30 minutes of cooking time, unless the recipes states otherwise.

Steam collects on the slow cooker's lid and the contents can get watered down. Use thickeners like flour or cornstarch thicken dishes if needed.

Remove cooked food from the crockpot or liner before storage. Because the liner is made of such thick material, the food won't cool down quickly enough to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Stir in spices for the last hour of cooking. They will lose flavor if cooked with the rest of the ingredients for the long cooking period.

Follow the layering instructions carefully. Vegetables do not cook as quickly as meat, so they should be placed in the bottom of the appliance.

Don't lift the lid to stir, especially if you are cooking on the low setting. Each time you lift the lid, enough heat will escape that the cooking time should be extended by 20 minutes to half an hour. To check progress without lifting the lid, spin the cover until the condensation falls off. Then it's easy to see inside. .

Handle you crock pot with care. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Be careful of extreme changes of temperature, as the crock may easily break. Handle it gently and it will last forever.
