3. Recipe and Cooking Disclaimers

3.1 Recipe Testing and Results

All recipes published on CrockCozy are tested by our team of home cooks (Lila Morrison, Savannah Mae Dubois, and Eleanor “Ellie” Mae Jenkins) before publication. We strive to provide accurate, reliable recipes.

However, we cannot guarantee that you will achieve the same results when preparing our recipes. Recipe results may vary due to:

• Individual cooking skills and experience levels
• Differences in ingredients: Brand variations, ingredient freshness, ingredient quality, organic vs. conventional
• Kitchen equipment variations: Different brands of slow cookers, oven calibration differences, stovetop heat variations
• Environmental factors: Altitude, humidity, ambient temperature
• Measurement accuracy: Differences between measuring methods (weight vs. volume, packed vs. unpacked ingredients)
• Ingredient substitutions: Using different ingredients than specified in the recipe
• Timing and technique: Variations in cooking times, mixing methods, temperature control

If you make substitutions or modifications to our recipes:

• Results may differ from the original recipe
• We cannot guarantee the outcome
• You do so at your own risk
• We are not responsible for unsuccessful results from modified recipes

Slow cookers vary significantly by:
