Top Tips for Crock Pot Success

COOKING ON HIGH or LOW: High temperature is about 280°F. Low temperature setting is about 170°F. One hour of the HIGH setting is equal to about 2 hours on LOW.
DAIRY: sour cream, milk, cheeses, heavy whipping cream can curdle if cooked for too long. Add those during the last 30-40 minutes of the cook time.
SAME SIZE: Cut all the ingredient the same size. For example the chucks of meat and pieces of potatoes should be similar in size.
FREEZE: Most all soups can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the freezer. Remember to leave out the “add at the end” ingredients when making a freezer meal. Thaw the soup overnight in the fridge and throw it in the crock pot.

How to use a Crock Pot

Prep Ingredients: Chop veggies, season meat, and sear meat briefly for extra flavor.
Layer: Place root veggies on the bottom, meat on top for even cooking.
Add Liquid: Pour in a little broth, sauce, or water—just enough to prevent sticking.
Set Temp:
- Low (6–8 hrs) for tender results
- Medium (4–6 hrs)
- High (2–3 hrs) for quicker meals
Cook: Cover and cook—don’t lift the lid! It slows things down.
Serve: Check doneness (especially meat) and enjoy!
