1 Do not use the slow cooker for reheating leftovers. 2  Heat the leftovers to a safe temperature in the microwave, on the stove, or in the oven and then transfer to a slow cooker to keep it warm. 3  Cooking for 1 hour on high is equal to 2 hours on low when slow cooking. Each time the lid is lifted, heat escapes from the slow cooker and 20 minutes will need to be added to the cooking time to make up for the heat loss. 2  If the recipe instructs to stir the ingredients any time during the cooking period, stir and replace the cover as quickly as possible.
Twice each year, during the equinoxes (âequal nightsâ), Earth's axis is not pointed toward our Sun, but is perpendicular to the incoming rays. During the equinoxes every location on our Earth (except the extreme poles) experiences 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
This date coincides with the summer solstice which has the longest daylight period of the year (the shortest in the southern hemisphere.) On the day of the summer solstice, the north pole gets 24-hours of sunlight, while the south pole gets 24-hours of darkness!
