•To thicken juices or make gravy at the end of the cooking cycle, make a smooth mixture of 2 to 4 tbsps. (30 – 60 ml) of cornstarch, 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water, and 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of butter. Remove cooked food from Casserole. Add the mixture to the juices remaining in the Casserole, set to High and stir until liquid thickens.
•Do not worry if the food remains in the Slow Cooker longer than planned. The Slow Cooker cooks very slowly and will be very forgiving if you are running a little late.
