GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES (CONT.)

HERBS AND SPICES

Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may
increase — use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs
and spices, add during last hour of cooking.

MILK

Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended
cooking. When possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed
soups may be substituted for milk, etc., and can cook for extended times.

SOUPS

Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If thinner soup
is desired, add more liquid at serving time. If milk-based recipes have no
other liquid for initial cooking, add 1 or 2 cups water. Then during last
hour of cooking, stir in milk or cream as called for.
