* While cooking meats, for instance roast beef for barbecue beef is drained so why not save the stalk and freeze it? Make sure that the stalk is totally cool and stored in a good quality Tupperware piece. You can use this at a later day. It can be used to make soups or just to add flavor.

* It seems that it can be a lot cheaper to buy inexpensive meats and cook them in the slow cooker. It tenderizes the meat better then any other way. It can take a generic steak and make it tender and taste wonderful to where you can chew it a lot easier then it would be had it been cooked another way.

* Then there are root vegetables that you can easily steam in a steamer to tenderize them. However, if you cook them with a meat in a crock pot, they turn out so much better, because there is flavor in the meat that cooks the vegetables and makes them tender. Not to mention the vegetable will have the flavor of whatever the meat is and that makes it taste better.

* When you are cooking using a crock pot and you are wanting to add vegetables in the mix, you will not want to add any canned vegetables until about twenty minutes before serving. If it is frozen vegetables, I would definitely wait for about thirty minutes before serving.

* Another way to remember to make the best type of meat in a crock pot is to sear the meat before you cook it. This will lock flavor into the particles of meat and help with the flavor process. For instance if you are cooking a roast, you may want to sear it with rubbed seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. All you do is simply coat the meat with whatever you want to season it with, then sear it in hot grease before putting it in the crock pot.
