TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING
•When cooking in a Slow Cooker, liquids do not boil away as in
conventional stovetop cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any
recipe that is not designed for a slow cooker, except for rice and
soups. Liquids mayalways be added during the cooking process.
•High fat meats may result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking or
browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help preserve
the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed.
•Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly
than foods left whole suchas roasts or poultry.
•Vegetables may take longer to cook than meats. Potatoes, carrots,
turnips, etc., should be placed at the bottom of Cooker and
covered with liquid.
SUGGESTED COOKING CHART
The following times are meant to be used as guidelines only. However, due to variations
in size and cut of foods
,always be sure that the food is truly done, use a cooking
thermometer. Check periodically so you do not overcook.
