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 'HIGH' is equivalent
to approximately one-and-a-half to two
hours on 'LOW'.
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 foods.
6. Cut large pieces of meat in half to allow heat
to penetrate more evenly
KEEP WARM FUNCTION
The KEEP WARM function maintains hot
foods at the recommended temperature to
prevent bacterial growth, 160°F/70°C or above.
1. Insert the wire rack into a rack position that
best suits the type of food you are keeping
warm.
2. Place food, positioned on the included
roasting pan, pizza pan or other oven-proof
dish, on the center of the wire rack so air will
flow around all sides of the food.
3. Close the oven door.
