Hints And Tips

PASTA AND RICE
• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as the
recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested
time, add an extra 1 to 1 1/2 cups (237 to 355ml) of liquid per cup of
cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling
water until just tender. Add the pasta to the Crock-Pot
during the last 30 minutes of cook time.
BEANS
• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or
acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will
prevent softening.
• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding
to a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
VEGETABLES
• Many vegetables benefit from slow cook times and low temperatures and
are able to develop their full flavor, specifically those with roots. They
tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your oven or
on your stovetop.
• When cooking recipes with rooted vegetables and meat, place vegetables
in slow cooker before meat. Rooted vegetables usually cook slower than
meat in the slow cooker.
• Place rooted vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to
facilitate cooking. Stir in chopped or sliced vegetables with other
ingredients.
HERBS AND SPICES
• Fresh herbs add flavor and color, but should be added at the end of the
cooking cycle as the flavor will dissipate over long cook times.
• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may
be added at the beginning.
• The flavor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on their
particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end of cook
cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.
