Top Slow Cooker Conversion Tips

Name: Top Slow Cooker Conversion Tips
Ingredients: Cut liquid amounts from a conventional recipe in half.; For maximum flavor and a more appetizing color, trim visible fat from meats and remove the skin from chicken, then coat the meat lightly in flour and brown in a hot skillet before adding to the slow cooker.; For every hour you’d bake, roast, or braise something, allow about 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high in the slow cooker. (When in doubt, turn it on low and leave it all day or overnight.) The low heat setting is about 200F; high heat is about 300F.; To thicken or enrich sauces, stir in cream, sour cream, shredded cheese, or cornstarch slurries at the end.; Brighten flavors at the end with salt and pepper, lemon juice, or vinegar. A handful of fresh chopped parsley, basil, or cilantro doesn’t hurt anything either.
