My Slow Cooker Tips

Before you start to think about recipes with your slow cooker here are a few tips for using your slow cooker which may help.

If you find your meal is a bit watery take the lid off the slow cooker and turn it up high for half an hour this can help evaporate some of the water.

Using slow cooker liners can save washing up if you are making something that often sticks. Did you know you can also buy silicone liners?

Remember that nothing evaporates so you may need less liquid than in other recipes eg on the hob.

Get the best size slow cooker for your family there are lots of great ones on Amazon with many under £30 for a good brand and good size!

Slow cookers are not only convenient but also energy-efficient. They consume less electricity compared to conventional ovens, making them a cost-effective choice for long cooking times. Some models are available for as little as £15, offering an affordable option for budget-conscious consumers. Investing in a slow cooker can lead to savings on energy bills and meal preparation costs over time.
