Are you a Crockpot enthusiast? Most either love slow cooker meals or they don’t. Some have their crockpots on the counter or tucked away into a cabinet somewhere collecting dust.ice

Using a Crockpot or Instant Pot can make your life easier in several ways. First, you are able to get your ingredients into the pot and walk away. Even if it takes a few hours like the crockpot vs. 30 minutes with the Instant Pot, you don’t have to sit watch over the meal.

It also makes clean up so much easier. You don’t have to use lots of dishes and pans. Generally, it’s just the one pot.

I can imagine that will make your evening easier and you can spend more time with your family instead of cleaning up all night.

How to Deep Clean Your Crockpot

If you use your crockpot several times a week, it will eventually get a ring around the dish. Here is an easy way to keep it sparkling like new.

Things you need to clean your crockpot

• 1 Cup Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Vinegar
• Dish Soap
• Sponge

Fill your crockpot or slow cooker with water, just pass the ring. Add 1 cup vinegar to the water. Slowly add 1 cup of baking soda. Turn crockpot on low and leave on for 4 hours to overnight. Remove lid, let cool for at least 1 hour. Then wash with dish soap. It will be sparkling new.

Tips for making Crockpot Recipes

Use the best size for your recipe – Usually 6-7 quarts

Don’t open your crockpot while cooking, it lets out steam and moisture and adds time on the cooking

Don’t overfill your crockpot

For best taste, brown your red meats first on the stove.

Let foods cool down before you place in refrigerator. (Avoid the danger zone) You can do this by placing in Tupperware on a bowl of ice.

Add milk and dairy toward the end of the cooking time.
