Most People Are Using Their Crock-Pot Wrong - 12 Cafeteria Tricks for That Old Slow Cooker

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2 or a family): http://dorislunchlady.com/ There is a harvest gold Crock-Pot on the bottom shelf of my pantry. It came to me as a wedding present in 1978, it cooks a whole day on about a quarter's worth of electricity, and it still works. Hard potatoes. A stew as thin as dishwater. Meat that falls apart into strings and still tastes dry. The first three tricks fix all three. Twelve tricks, counting down. The first six make it taste right. The next five keep it safe, including a bean a slow cooker can make worse and a blinking clock that can send a whole supper to the trash. And number one is why this pot was ever built. #crockpotcooking #schoolcafeteria #crockpotdinners
