What is a slow cooker?
A slow cooker is an electric countertop appliance that cooks food slowly over several hours at a low, consistent temperature. It’s commonly used for meals like soups, stews, shredded meats, and casseroles.
Our slow cooker meals are prepared specifically to be cooked in a slow cooker. Simply place the meal in your slow cooker, follow the cooking instructions provided, and let it cook while you go about your day.
What size slow cooker do I need to cook these meals?
If you’re purchasing a new slow cooker, we recommend choosing one with a digital timer that allows you to set the exact cooking time and automatically switches to a “Keep Warm” setting when the cooking time is complete. This can help prevent meals from becoming overcooked or dry if you’re not able to serve them right when they finish cooking.
We recommend the following slow cooker sizes based on the portion size you order:
- Smaller Portion (SP): 3-quart slow cooker
- Regular Portion (RP): 4-quart slow cooker
- Bigger Portion (BP): 6-quart slow cooker
Can I cook the meals in an Instant Pot?
It depends on the meal. Our slow cooker meals are specifically designed to be cooked in a slow cooker, and we recommend using that method for the best results.
Some meals may work well in an Instant Pot, particularly those without dairy or a large amount of sauce or liquid. However, meals containing dairy are not recommended for the Instant Pot, as the high heat and pressure can cause dairy to curdle. For the best results, always follow the cooking instructions provided with your meal.
How long do the meals take to cook in the slow cooker?
Cooking times vary by meal, so always check the cooking instructions included with your meal for the recommended time and temperature.
In general, most Beehive Meals slow cooker meals take 2-4 hours to cook, but some meals may take 6-8 hours. We recommend cooking our meals on a LOW setting. Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker, whether the meal is frozen or thawed, and the specific recipe.
For food safety, make sure the meal reaches the appropriate internal temperature before serving.
Do I need to add anything to the meals in the slow cooker before cooking?
Most of the time, no! Our meals include the sauces, seasonings, and spices needed to prepare the recipe. Some meals may require you to add a small amount of water before cooking, so be sure to check the instructions for your specific meal.
Are sides included in my order?
Our meals are designed as the base of your meal, typically including the protein, sauce, and seasonings. Using what you have in your pantry or fridge, you can serve them over rice or pasta, in tacos or wraps, or however your family prefers.
We don’t include sides because each meal can be served in different ways, and fresh sides wouldn’t have the same freezer shelf life as our meals. For serving ideas and variations, visit Our Meals on our website.
