Nah, i wouldn't. Just stir it b4 you put the lid on. I put mine in cooker b4 work and its cooked for when i get home. No-one is home to stir it all day and it turns out fine

mike547, I am not familiar with the packeted mix that you are using, but just in case you are not aware, please remember that for each time you lift the slow cooker lid you will need to allow 20-30 minutes extra cooking time due to the heat that is lost when the lid is lifted.:-))

Sam I made a stew in mine the other day and stirred it about three times, didn't cook it for any longer than it was supposed to be cooked and it was fine.

General rule is to combine well when you turn it on and leave it alone til about 1/2 hour before you serve then give it a quick stir.

It was a success, thankyou for the help.Think this crockpot is going to get a lot more use from now on, it was so good not having to muck around tonight getting dinner ready at the last minute.Just had to cook a few peas and it was all done.Lovely
