HELPFUL HINTS • Cut root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc.) into even pieces. As they take longer to cook than meat, root vegetables can be gently sautéed in a pan on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and that there is sufficient cooking liquid.
