tips & tricks • • • • • • • During slow cooking liquids do not boil away. Begin with a small amount of liquid and add more during the cooking process when needed. If there is too much liquid at the end of the cooking process, set the slow cooker to high. Cook on this setting to reduce the liquid. For better flavor do not crush or ground herbs and spices. If cooking on low setting, some recipes may require 8 hours. Meats with a high fat percentage can influence the flavor of the dish.
