When cooking with a crock-pot there are some rules you need to follow.
1. Leave the lid on!!! Sometimes you’ll find people like to lift the lid to peek at what is cooking or to get a good whiff of it. Every time you open the lid you need to add an additional 15 minutes of cooking time. When the lid is opened on a crock-pot you lose too much of your heat.
2. When you are going to cook on LOW heat you need to turn the crock-pot on HIGH for the first while so that it can quickly get up to the correct temperature. I’m not sure on the exact time, but I would say at least 15 minutes. Then you can turn it back to LOW as planned. Otherwise your food temperature won’t get in the safe zone quick enough.
I’m sure I will add more rules as I remember them.
