Crock Pot Cooking Tip
When using frozen foods in a crock pot recipe, thawing prior to adding them to the crock pot is a must because you risk damage to your ceramic crock pot liner. If you must cook a frozen product, be sure to add one cup of warm liquid to prevent sudden changes in temperature. If you have a metal slow cooker you may add frozen items but increase cooking time by several hours.
