ADAPT YOUR TRADITIONAL RECIPES TO SLOW COOK:
• For recipes that do not require the Brown/Sauté function before slow cooking, reduce
the cooking liquid by at least 50% (soups are the exception).
Liquids do not evaporate as they do in traditional cooking, and most often you will end
up with much more liquid than you began with.
• Dairy products (milk, sour cream, some cheeses) will break down and curdle during
slow cooking. Substitute canned evaporated milk, nonfat dry milk, or add dairy
products during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• If your recipe calls for precooked pasta or rice, undercook it and add to the pot in the
last 30 minutes of slow cooking.
• Pasta can be cooked at the end of a slow cooking recipe. Switch unit to ”High” and
when liquid comes to a simmer add pasta.
