Hoggirl Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Can I put everyting in the crockpot the night before and store it in the fridge that way? You know, assemble my soup, store it in removable liner in the fridge overnight, and then drop it in and turn it on in the morning? I am a wee (:lol:) bit OCD in general, and my directions say not to store food in the crockpot, but I didn't know if this only applied to already cooked foods. I don't want to break any "rules." TIA!

MyThreeSons Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I know the crockery warms up slowly, but going from thoroughly cold to hot enough to cook can cause cracking. Maybe you could mix it up and store it in a regular stock pot in your fridge overnight, then dump into the crockpot in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'd be worried it might crack too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I will just dump it in the crockpot tomorrow! It never occurred to me that it might crack! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jail warden Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've done this many times and never had any problems, however now I am worried! You learn new things everyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 It would also depend on what all is in the soup. For example, you don't usually want to expose beans to anything acidic before (at least partially) cooking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn of ns Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've done it before as well. I'd think the issue would be with quickly warming it rather then the slow warming it actually gets. need to research this I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
