Huge Mistakes You're Making With Your Slow Cooker

[@user-fs5lc2dl7t]

Great tips and cautions. I just got a slow cooker for Christmas so now I feel better prepared when I go to use it the first time. Thanks.

[@ericchamberlain5872]

I reheat the food stored in the slow cooker from the fridge all the time. Have never gotten sick nor anyone else.

[@atticuscolten651]

you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf recently xD

[@zainlewis5306]

@Atticus Colten Yea, been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :)

👏🏼👏🏼This modern obsession with “all things sterile” and the fear of everything…

[@gearldcline3615]

Good tips. I knew most of them, but the paper towel tip was new. It explains some slow cooker fails I have experience.

[@MashedFood]

What slow cooker tips do you have to share?

[@battledome64]

Mashed won’t slow cooker kill any bacteria once it reaches its simmer point?

[@jasmineskitchennn]

If using frozen veggies or anything frozen with meat, it will take about an hour longer for meat to reach 160 degree temp...So I’ve experienced.

I don't know about that paper towel trick. Remember a slow cooker is still is generating heat on the inner pot Also the water condensation will weigh down the paper not to mention the steam is definitely going to weaken the paper integrity and I don't want paper being an extra ingredients for my food.😄

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Tupapacu Use a cotton/ polyester dishtowel

[@Tupapcu]

​​@@RaysLaughsAndLyricsthat's a wiser idea. polyester is a bit more heat resistant but again you shouldn't be putting anything in a pot that's generating heat regardless how heat resistant it. if you want to get rid of the excess liquid just let it cook and when in the warming phase just remove the goddamn LED

Remember to turn it on before you leave for work 😁

This would be great to know if I had a slow cooker. I still found this interesting. Thanks for the upload. 😊😎

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

Don't forget to sear the meat before cooking it.

[@lynx2cross]

Grew up as a kid eating reheated food from the slow cooker and still do the same today as an adult, have never been sick with food poisoning

[@silver10188]

can you do ramadan best dishes

[@jasonking7736]

I don't mind using the extra broth as soup for the next few days after a slow cooked corned beef, it's delicious

[@kiki1573]

I always make the mistake of using too much broth in my chicken or steak cubes. It's still pretty good, but the meat is so tender it falls off the bone or it breaks up easily but my family loves it that way so idk if that's a total loss lol😂🤷🏾‍♀️

[@siddia4322]

I need the steps for the cheesecake slow cooker😛

[@GeminieCricket]

Good advice

[@scoutwithoutclout]

Using less liquid can result in an overcook. I just learned this the hard way with bbq in a new crock pot. I can't stand the new ones. The manufacturer raised the temperatures dramatically. Cook on high? You can barely cook on low without burning bbq sauce. Old ones you could leave in there overnight. New ones bring liquid to a rolling boil within 3 hours on low. As for "less" liquid recommendation, just make sure it's more than half full capacity to slow the cook (on a new crock pot). It sucks. I'm literally going to trade a brand new one for a used one bc the manufacturers have created a product that can't perform it's intended task of slow cooking.

My slow cooker has a sautee function I use for reheating. When it's winter here I just leave the food in the crock pot.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Di not use paper towel to absorb cooker condensation .. Use a dish towel.. No wasted paper... wash and reuse the dish towel over and over.

[@whooelse9444]

Throw some oxtails in the crockpot...AWWW MAN!!!

[@kimr.2284]

YES LAWD!😊

[@sicklethyst_3140]

If you think you’ve not put enough liquid in, you’ve probably put too much in already.

[@Turnbull50]

sorry but if your bothered by the water dripping from under the lid when you cook don't bother using one and just use your oven.

[@nergregga]

Yeah, why would you cook something with a crunchy topping in a slowcooker

[@gloombla]

Actually it’s the opposite , my aicook 6 quart burned my food till I increased the water

I wouldn't want to eat the chemicals leached from paper towels...

[@idontgotnothin]

Then dont eat the paper towel

[@gearldcline3615]

Use plan paper towels without patterns printed on them. Shouldn't microwave with paper towels that have flowers and stuff printed on them either....

[@syndicatedsatellite7288]

@@gearldcline3615 I myself don't eat out of a microwave and never use paper towels against food...

[@gearldcline3615]

@@syndicatedsatellite7288 Good for you...but it is my understanding that paper towels without printing on them are safe. And you shouldn't under-rate microwaves, they have their uses....

What a crock!

[@julie4n4lLvr]

So don’t use a slow cooker

Never met a person that could not use a slow cooker correctly..? :) ..

Haha!!! Best comment ever!!!!!

Slow cookers are for working people.

[@juliadoherty83]

I'm both disabled and have two auto-immune diseases. I don't work but use my slow cooker constantly. I also line it with cooking bags, so once it's cooled I just remove the bag, no need to lift the heavy pot to wash it. I wash the lid and that's it. Without my slow cooker I'd be extremely hungry. I'm unable to stand or sit for long, so stirring the pot contents occasionally, instead of baby sitting things cooked in an oven/ on a hob, and risking a severe burn is a win win for me!
