Cooking Tips Using a Crock Pot – 5 Common Mistakes To Avoid

Slow Cookers are so helpful in a kitchen. They make meal preparation like a breeze, always bringing wonderful aroma as the dinner cooks, almost by itself. But be sure to avoid these slow cooker mistakes, on friends at food network made this nice video:

#1 Don’t skip searing (it seals in meat juices)
#2 Don’t open the lid while cooking you will end up adding cooking time.
#3 Don’t crank up the temperature to cook faster (you may end up with a burnt bottom on some recipes)
#4 Don’t add dairy too soon (it will curdle, instead add it towards the end for a creamy sauce)
#5 Avoid using chicken skin it won’t produce a crisp skin. Boneless skinless chicken is perfect and is faster to cook.

Pretty simple not to make them don’t you think?
