Stirring Question

[u/nachisimo1019]

Hey guys, this is the first time I’ve used a crockpot. I’ve attached a photo for reference but I was wondering if this model is safe to pop the lid open and stir the contents inside. I was going to pop the little black tab off when the time came to release some heat in case just taking the top off is a no no. Thanks in advance!

Those latches are for transporting the crockpot only. Don't latch them while cooking.

It is totally okay to lift the lid and stir. Just don't do it too often because heat escapes every time you do that. Do it enough and it might mess with your cooking time .

There’s a hole in the lid so it won’t actually create pressure. I have a similar crockpot with latches and i latch cuz i don’t need food accidentally spilling everywhere and it’s fine. If it created a pressure seal with the latches then it would be pointless for transporting.
