Don’t lift the crockpot lid!

Whenever you are cooking something in the slow cooker, it can be pretty tempting to lift the lid to peak on it cooking or to give it an extra stir or two.  But everytime you lift the lid (unless the recipe calls for you to lift the lid to add ingredients or stir), you need to add an additional twenty minutes to the cooking time!  So next time you get the temptation, just look through the glass lid of your slow cooker instead, and leave that lid securely in place.
