Pumps' Perplexities

The last cooking pot that you would think that you
have to watch would be a crockpot or slowcooker......
But you have to......

Many people make the mistake of just dumping all
the ingredients of the recipe into the slowcooker and
then closing the kitchen door behind them......Expecting
that when they reopen the door in 6-8 hours -voila -
a cooked meal........

People fail to remember that a slowcooker is just
another kitchen tool......Just like a wok, double boiler,
or a simple sauce pan........Besides a lot of women do
not like to fail in their kitchen efforts......

So crockpot and slowcooker lovers, watch your cooking
fluids.....Sometimes you have to much liquid, potato
flakes, flour and cornstarch will correct that.....And
sometimes you have to little, any liquid of choice will
fix that.......

In my opinion a slowcooker is a good tool on a slow day
when you do not like to stand over a hot stove or oven,
no matter for what time period..........But remember
that even on slow days you have to check your "cooking
tool" every hour or so........Pumps
