These great slow cooker tips are great in helping you remember that you can easily cook in your slow cooker all year long!

So many people tend to think as their slow cooker as a kitchen appliance that is only useful during the cold, winter months. Honestly, this just couldn’t be further from the truth!

There are so many slow cooker recipes that you can cook during the summer months that you don’t want to overlook or forget!

These slow cooker tips are perfect for summer! Your slow cooker isn't just for the winter months! There are so many recipes for summer as well!

Slow Cooker Tips For Cooking During The Summer

One of the best parts of summer is the outdoor get-togethers and gatherings. If you’re looking for a few slow cooker tips on how you can use your slow cooker during the summer months, you’re going to love these!

  • Pack up your slow cooker and take with you

Slow cookers are so handy! You can literally pack up your slow cooker and take it with you wherever it needs to go! If there’s a dinner or an event, as long as you can get an extension cord or a plugin, you’re good to go.

How awesome is it that your slow cooker dish will remain warm throughout the entire time that people are dishing and eating it?

  • Your slow cooker can cook up BBQ food as well

Even though you might love your grill, don’t forget that your slow cooker can cook up some mean BBQ dishes, too. You can easily cook up some ribs or brisket in your slow cooker with ease! And even though it might not have that grilled taste or texture, you can rest easy knowing that it’s going to be delicious for sure.

  • Use your slow cooker as a way to transport your side dishes

If you don’t feel like taking whatever you’ve cooked out of your slow cooker and put it into another dish, don’t. Instead, let the interior compartment of your slow cooker cool, and just take that as your side dish holder instead.

Not only will it save you from having to wash another dish, but that’s kind of what the inserts were made for anyways. If you find that you can remove it, do so! It’s just so simple to grab and go. (after it’s 100% cooled down – of course!)

See how simple it is to use your slow cooker during the summer months? Think twice before packing it up after the long hard winter is over. While it probably brought you a lot of great joy cooking chili and everything else hearty, it still has so much life left to bring you that same joy during the summer months!

Give it a chance before you decide against it. Once you see all the capabilities that your slow cooker has for year-round use, it will make you fall in love with it even more!
