1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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. Replace the lid (but leave slightly open) & cook on high for 3 more hours. By now, the carrots will be cooked & will look soft & watery.

3. 3

   Transfer the carrot mixture to a wide, heavy pan & cook on the stovetop on med-high for 15 minutes.
