Additional liquid may also be required, as food will boil when set on High. Make sure
the slow cooker has not been pre-heated. Most recipes including the recipes in this
instruction manual require cooking times of 8 to 10 hours. From experience, you will
learn whether to use the shorter or longer times given in the recipes. If foods are cooked
more than you desire, or end up with too much liquid, it is probably due to not trimming
excess fat from meats or adding too much liquid as the liquid content of meats and
vegetables will vary. Any excess liquid can be reduced by removing the lid and switching
the slow cooker to the High setting for approximately 45 minutes.
Hints for Using Standard Recipes in your Slow Cooker
Using the following hints, you can prepare and cook your favourite recipes in the slow
cooker:
If using fresh milk or yoghurt only add to the slow cooker during the last 2 hours of
cooking. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking.
Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods.
Wine can add flavour and tenderness to meat. Substitute part wine for water for
richer flavour.
Whole leaf herbs are best for prolonged cooking in your slow cooker, but decrease
the quantity in the standard recipe by a quarter.
Very little moisture boils away in the slow cooker, so in most cases the liquid quantity
in the standard recipes can be halved. If you find that you have too much liquid,
remove the lid and switch the slow cooker to the High setting for 30-45 minutes to
reduce.
Cooking times for conventional recipes have to be considerably increased when
cooking in a slow cooker.
For example, food that will cook in 30 minutes conventionally, will take 4 – 5
hours when slow cooking on Low.
Recipes calling for 1 hour will take 6 – 8 hours on Low in the slow cooker.
Food that will cook for 1 – 3 hours, conventionally, will take 8 – 12 hours on Low.
Without browning, some meat and poultry may come out bland and its appearance
will be unappetizing when cooked in the slow cooker.
