Tips & Tricks For Crockpot Cooking

  • Make sure to stir the food often to prevent any chance of burning/drying out/charring
  • Transport to events in the crockpot and plug the whole thing in there. Car inverters also work great for cooking while driving. I’ve actually been known to do this when delivering chili or driving dips to events. 
  • You can also help keep things warm when moving them by getting a crock pot carry-bag for transport.
  • I use a 4 or 6-quart crockpot to make most of my appetizers 
  • Use crockpot liners and nonstick spray for easy cleaning up
