HINTS AND TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING
If you are slow cooking, you can use the BROWN/SEAR
•
function first to brown meats and sauté vegetables at
the beginning. Browning meat prior to slow cooking not
only gives your food great color, but it also seals in the
flavorful juices and keeps the meat tender.
• When using the SLOW COOK function, make sure the
Steam Release Dial is in the "Release"
• When using the SLOW COOK function, the Cooker
does not recover lost heat quickly, so only lift the Lid
if necessary or if instructed to do so in the recipe.
It's a good idea to monitor your slow cooking results
throughout the cooking cycle by quickly removing
the Lid and checking, then quickly replacing the Lid.
Different cuts and thickness of meats and vegetables can
vary in required cook time.
• It is not uncommon for meat to cook faster than root
vegetables. It is for this reason that we recommend
chopping all vegetables to a similar small size. Meat can
be cut into larger chunks because if it is cut too small, it
will break up once cooked and tenderized.
• Slow Cooking reduces evaporation, resulting in the
position.
