Crock Pot Cooking With You Favorite Recipes
Most of your favorite recipes can be cooked in the rival crock pot. Following some simple guidelines will help ensure your end results are delicious every time. Here are few suggestions to keep in mind when converting stove-top recipes into rival crock pot meals :
* Liquids – decrease all liquids to half the amount and milk breaks down with slow cooking so add it during the last hour of cooking.
* Spices and Seasoning – they can evaporate with slow cooking so just add them during the last hour of cooking.
* Beans – your beans need to soak first before cooking so they will be soft.
* Cream Soups -replace the milk with cream soup, they hold better and longer.
* Vegetables – cut about 1 inch thick and place in crock pot first as they need more cooking time and will be tender and delicious when the meal is done.
Comparing the Rival Crock Pot method of cooking and the Stove Top method of cooking are quite easy. For great family meals that are inexpensive, Rival Crock Pot cooking is the winner.
