Despite its name, the rice cooker is not a single-minded kitchen unitasker. Sure, it is the easiest way to make perfect rice, but it’s also a convenient way to cook a wide variety of foods. Here are some of the great hacks to use your slow cooker in many ways.

1. Create a barrier with foil to use one Crock-Pot for two dips.

2. Convert any recipe to a slow cooker recipe.

You may have to adjust the amount of liquid called for in the recipe (like adding 1/2 cup water or broth if no liquid is called for), but otherwise, converting a conventional-cooking recipe to a Crock-Pot one is easy. Just use the guide above. Also, if you’re making a stew or soup, just be sure to add the veggies in first and place the meat on top.

3. Brown meats before placing them in a Crock-Pot for more flavor.
