Indoor or outdoor? You probably don't want to bring your slow cooker to a barbecue at a park, where there won't be any outlets to plug into.Make sure to ask your host first-she may have other plans for her oven. Your stuffed mushrooms are to die for, but they're really at their best if you can bake them at 350☏ for 20 minutes right before serving. Ask before selecting a recipe that will require your host's kitchen.
Check in with the host before picking a recipe. Is there a theme like a luau or a cowboy cookout? Is there a signup sheet for appetizers, side dishes, etc.? The last thing you want is to show up and realize there are 20 different potato salads to eat.So you're going to a potluck: congratulations! You should know there's more to being a great guest than making potato salad and showing up.
Got a potluck on the horizon? We've curated some tips for attendees, as well as some perfect potluck recipes! Plus, you get to try a variety of foods, including things you'd never think to make yourself (or are too intimidated to try). Few things are more personal than food, and the flavors and choices people make say a lot about them. Potlucks are a wonderful way to throw a party-the costs and labor are shared between the host and attendees, and it's a great way to get to know people.
