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