Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures for longer periods of time.
Two Slow Cook settings are available: high (Hi) and low (Lo). The
high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours.
The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.
Tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
•
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
•
When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various
bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
•
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
•
Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type
cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
•
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook
times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,
and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be
necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
•
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
Important note:
•
Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook
Time and Delay Start.
•
The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours
and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the
continuous bake mode.
