Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks

1

Brown meat first when possible - creates fond and depth, though it is optional for convenience

2

Layer strategically: root vegetables on bottom (they cook slower), meat in middle, delicate items on top

3

Do not lift the lid - each peek releases heat and adds 15-20 minutes to cooking time

4

Fill 1/2 to 3/4 full for best results - too empty dries out, too full may overflow or undercook

5

Reduce liquids by 50% compared to stovetop recipes - minimal evaporation means less liquid needed

6

Add dairy, fresh herbs, and tender vegetables in last 30 minutes - prevents curdling and mushiness

Frequently Asked Questions

Most recipes cook for 6-8 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH. Tougher cuts of meat benefit from longer cooking (8-10 hours on LOW). Quick-cooking foods like fish or shrimp need just 1-2 hours. Follow recipe guidelines, as overcooking can make food mushy.
