    Grate the carrots by hand. Alternatively, you can grate them in a food proc. Anupy Singla said the pre-grated, store-bought carrots aren't worth using as they're grated too thick & too long.) Put the carrots in the slow cooker.

    Bring milk to a boil on the stovetop & pour over the carrots in the slow cooker. Cook for 3 hrs on high. Remove the slow cooker lid & cook for another 3 hrs on high.
