  • The basics of using your slow cooker
  • How to "braise" and "stew" with a slow cooker
  • Prepping meats before you slow cook
  • Making your very own signature spice rub
  • Proper techniques and timings for maximum flavor and tenderness

She also shares a variety of helpful tips and juicy tidbits about slow cooking other dishes for your family, friends, or simply meal-prepping for yourself.
By the end of the class, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to make a delicious, old-fashioned BBQ pulled pork at home – and enough to go around!
Share your slow cooking story.
Your turn! You've mastered braising in a slow cooker – now, I want to see/hear what you've made. Share a few sentences about your own experience with slow cooking, and if you have photos of the meal you made, I'd love to see that too.
Bon appétit!
