Safety Tips for Your Best Crockpot Recipes
1. Thaw your meat completely before placing it in the slow cooker.
2. Be careful where you place your crockpot. Keep it away from walls, other appliances, and cabinets. Don't set plastic or paper bags against or near it. Crockpots get hot!
3. Remove your food promptly and place it in the proper storage containers for freezing or refrigerating.
4. Clean your crockpot thoroughly after each use and don't allow any food buildup on the insert.
5. Throw away your dish if your power should go out and you don't know how long your crockpot's power was off. Be safe, and don't take chances with food contamination.

Is it a Slow Cooker or a Crockpot?
A slow cooker, or Crock-Pot (a trademark that is often used generically in the USA), or Slo-Cooker (a trade mark that is often used generically in the UK), is a countertop electrical cooking appliance that maintains a relatively low temperature (compared to other cooking methods like baking, boiling, and frying) for many hours, allowing unattended cooking of pot roast, stew, and other suitable dishes.

Techniques for Your Best Crockpot Recipes
Great Dishes Every Time!
1. Don't touch that lid! Your dishes will cook more quickly if you keep the lid in place, and don't lift it more than you need to. Lifting the lid causes the slow cooker to lose heat.
2. Pay attention to the size of the crockpot recommended in your best crockpot recipes. If you don't have the proper size, adjust the recipe's cooking time accordingly.
3. Check your cooking times the first time you make a recipe. Peek at how done the recipe is during the last couple hours of cooking. Then note your ideal cooking time on the recipe. Most recipes give a range, such as, 6-8 hours in the crockpot.
4. How hot is your crockpot? Another reason to watch your cooking the first time you make a crockpot recipe. Different models of crockpots will have different cooking times because some run hotter than others.
5. Start with easy crockpot recipes first for guaranteed success. Try more complicated recipes after you get to know your crockpot's cooking times.
