Slow Cook Guide
Guideline Tips

..The.slow.cook.program.uses.a.complex.series.of.
temperature.cycling.to.obtain.the.best.results ..For.this.
reason,.it.is.recommended.that.the.slow.cook.program.
be.allowed.to.run.without.cancelling.or.restarting ..
Restarting.the.slow.cook.feature.while.it.is.in.progress.
may.result.in.overcooked.meat .

..For.juicy.and.tender.meat,.choose.cuts.of.meat.such.
as.chuck.roast.or.a.boneless.blade.roast ..Leaner.cuts.
of.meat,.such.as.top.round,.are.drier.and.may.need.
additional.liquid .

..Use.only.glass.and.ceramic.dishes ..Metal.pots.and.
pans.tend.to.transfer.the.heat.into.the.foods.too.
quickly .

..Match.the.quantity.of.food.to.the.size.pan ..Fill.the.pan.
about.3/4.full.for.best.results ..Too.large.a.pot.allows.the.
steam.to.escape,.causing.foods.to.dry.out .

..Always.cover.the.pot.with.a.lid.or.aluminum.foil .

..A.wide.range.of.recipes.may.be.used.in.the.slow.cook.

at.minimum.time ..For.large.recipes.or.when.doubling.
recipes,.foods.may.be.cooked.for.longer.periods.of.
time .
