to preserve the DuraCeramic
•
Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. Brown in the cooking bowl and drain well. Season with salt and
pepper. Place the meat in the cooking bowl on top of vegetables.
•
For pot roasts and stews, pour liquid over the meat. Use no more liquid than specified in the recipe. More juices are
retained in meat and vegetables during slow cooking than in conventional cooking.
•
Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the cooking bowl. In a slow cooker,
meats generally cook faster than most vegetables.
•
Use whole leaf herbs and spices for the best and fullest flavour from the slow cooking method. If ground herbs and
spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour of cooking.
•
Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the cooking bowl at least half full, to conform with
recommended times. Small quantities can be prepared, but cooking times may be affected.
•
A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is substituted. For example, substituting a can
of soup for a can of tomatoes or 1 cup of beef or chicken stock for 1 cup of wine.
•
Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acidic foods (Note: Sugar and acid have a
hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening).
This guide is designed to help you adapt your own and other recipes for your slow cooker. Many of the normal preparatory
steps are unnecessary when using your slow cooker. In most cases all ingredients can go into your slow cooker at once
and cook all day. General:
•
Allow sufficient cooking time.
•
Always cook with the lid on.
•
For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the
recipe.
RECIPE TIME
15 - 30 minutes
30 - 45 minutes
50 minutes - 3 hours
PASTA AND RICE:
•
For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
•
For best pasta results, add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30 to 60 minutes of cook time.
BEANS:
•
Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
•
Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
