Slow Cooking
Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as soups, stocks, stews,
and dried beans. Slow cooking is also ideal for specific types of meat such as chuck roasts, short
ribs, pork shoulders and lamb shanks. The Medium and Low settings are usually used for recipes
that cook longer. When starting a dish later in the day, select the High setting to ensure that food
is cooked, warm, and ready when you’d like to eat.
