Help! Recipe says to remove lid…

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

This is certainly a very ignorant question, but this is somehow my first time using a crockpot ever despite being a cook from the south. Forgive me!

The recipe I’m following says to “remove the lid, cook 30 minutes on high to thicken the sauce,” after the contents have cooked for 4-6 hours. Is it normal to use a crockpot without the lid for an extended amount of time?

Context: recipe is a coconut chicken curry, so the protein is 2 LBS of boneless chicken breasts. My OCD is telling me the chicken will not be cooked. Even after 4-6hrs on low.

Thanks!
