There are so many things that you can do with your Crock Pot! Here’s my list of my top ten favourite Crock Pot tricks that you may not have heard of!
I’ve been talking about my love for Crock Pots for years and things haven’t changed much around here as far as that’s concerned. There’s just something so great about having something going in the Crock Pot all day while you get to enjoy the aroma of a home-cooked meal, knowing that it will be ready for you at dinner time and your work is already done. You can’t beat it. Crock Pots are useful for more than just preparing a big meal at the end of a long day though. I really try to make use of mine as often as I can so I thought today I’d put together a little list of a few of the most useful Crock Pot tips, tricks, and uses that might be new to you!
