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.

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.
