Slow Cooker Tip - Cooking Desserts

• It’s best to use a small rack or vegetable steamer when making a cake in your slow cooker to lift it off the bottom. This helps heat circulate more evenly.
• If your slow cooker doesn’t have a baking rack, crumple aluminium foil and place it on the bottom, underneath the baking insert to help heat circulate when making cakes that need to be raised from the bottom of the cooker.
• You need at larger slow cooker for making most cakes. A 5 litre model will usually hold a cake or springform pan.
• Though sometimes it’s hard to resist when you’re making a delectable dessert, only lift the lid to check if your dessert is done. Lifting it too often will allow too much heat to escape.
  
  Desserts usually take much less time in the slow cooker than meats, stews, and main dishes, so plan accordingly.
