Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put frozen meat in the slow cooker?
It is not recommended for food safety. Frozen meat takes too long to reach safe temperatures. Always thaw meat first.
Should I cook on HIGH or LOW?
LOW for 8 hours gives the most tender results. HIGH for 4–5 hours works on busy days. Most proteins are interchangeable between settings.
Do slow cooker recipes need liquid?
Most do, but less than you think. Ingredients release moisture as they cook. Start with about ½ cup of broth, tomatoes, or wine.
