Cooking meat
A slow cooker is great for foods that are not naturally tender, such as meat with a lot of connective tissue. These are the less-expensive cuts but also the most flavorful. Like braising, slow cookers tenderize meat gradually as it cooks. If you choose cuts such as chuck roast, pork shoulder, short ribs or chicken thighs, you won't be disappointed with the results. If fat is an issue, refrigerate the contents after cooking and skim off the extra fat before serving. Note: you must thaw frozen meat and poultry before adding it to the slow cooker.
Slow cooking tips
If you're not familiar with slow cooking, there are a few things you should know. First, how high you fill the crock (sometimes called the insert, stoneware, cookware, or vessel) is important. To prevent overcooking, the crock should be filled half-full to no more than one inch from the rim. If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the crock and the food so the recipe can come to a simmer. Secondly, if you lift the lid during cooking, your cooking time will increase due to heat loss. Unless your recipe specifically calls for stirring, resist lifting the lid. Last but not least, if you want to store leftovers after cooking, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place in the refrigerator.
