7 Tips for Successful Slow Cooker Paleo Cooking
Slow cookers are a great way to make healthy, home-cooked meals that can be ready in a few hours. They are easy to use and they require minimal effort on your part.
Some of the best tips for a successful slow cooker recipe include 1. Use your slow cooker for at least four hours before you plan to serve the dish.
2. You will want to add a few easy-to-find items, such as salt and pepper, for the perfect flavor at the end of cooking time.
3. If using dried spices, use two teaspoons for every one teaspoon of ground spices and give them a stir before adding.
4. Consider doubling the recipe if you plan on cooking your protein and vegetables in the slow cooker. This ensures that everything will be fully cooked by the time it is finished cooking
.5. If you are using a vegetarian dish, consider including one or two meat substitutes for those who like their dishes with some meat flavor to them.
6. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can still make this dish in your regular oven. The cooking times will vary slightly depending on the size of the dish and the cooking time that you choose.
7. If your mouth waters while waiting for your recipe to cook, stir in some chopped parsley or cilantro for a little more flavor!
