FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Why grease the slow cooker well?
This dessert is super gooey and sticky – generous greasing prevents it from sticking to the sides.

Edges should be set but center will still be gooey – that’s what makes it perfect!

- Grease slow cooker very liberally
- Don’t peek during cooking
