TIPS
TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING
1. Ensure cookware is oven-proof and does not
exceed 13 pounds when empty.
2. Fill cookware to a minimum of ½ and
maximum of ¾ full to avoid over or
under-cooking. To prevent spillover,
do not fill cookware more than ¾ full.
3. Always slow cook with the lid on to prevent
food from drying out. Cover cookware with
a layer of aluminum foil before covering
with lid to keep even more moisture in.
4. Follow cooking temperatures and times
prescribed in traditional slow cooker
recipes. One hour on 'HI' is equivalent
to approximately one-and-a-half to two
hours on 'LO'.
5. Cold food will take longer to cook than food
that has been pre-seared or heated so adjust
cooking times as appropriate. Do not slow
cook frozen food.
6. Cut large pieces of meat in half to allow heat
to penetrate more evenly.
