Tips for Getting the Best Results from Your Gourmia Slow Cooker Recipes

Always resist the urge to lift the lid. Every time you open it, heat escapes and adds 20–30 minutes to cooking time. Let it do its thing.

Cut vegetables and meat into similar-sized pieces. This helps everything cook evenly and at the same rate.

Don’t fill the slow cooker more than two-thirds full. Overfilling leads to uneven cooking and possible spills. Keep it reasonable.

If your sauce looks too thin at the end, stir in a cornstarch slurry on High for 15–20 minutes. It thickens quickly.

Layer properly. Dense vegetables like potatoes and carrots go on the bottom closest to the heat source. Meat goes on top.
