Hi! This is my first time here and I am new at using a crockpot/slow cooker. I've never used one before and now that I am a new mom and have a full time job I need I figured this will help me save some time a few times a week. I have some questions.
1. Can I put frozen meat/poultry in the crock pot?
2. Can I prepare the foods the night before, store it in the fridge then put it in the crock in the morning before I leave to work?
3. I'm usually out of the house at 7am and get back around 6pm. Is it ok for the food to be in there that long even if then recipe calls for 6 hours of cooking? Will it burn or dry out??
4. Do I have to add water even if a recipe does not call for it??
