COOKING CHART
PROBLEM
THINGS TO CHECK
Food is undercooked.
• Was food cooked on the Keep Warm setting?
Do not cook on Keep Warm; always cook on Low
or High heat settings.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but use a
cooking time based on the High heat setting?
Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow
cooker?
The food isn’t done after
cooking the amount of
time recommended in
my recipe.
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are
commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight
fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable
effect on most appliances. However, it can alter
the cooking times in the slow cooker by extend-
ing the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and
select the appropriate heat setting. You will learn
through experience if a shorter or longer time is
needed.
My meal was over-
cooked. Why?
• Was the crock at least half-full? The slow
cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook
food in a filled crock. If the crock is only half-
filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier
than recipe time.
• Did you select correct number of hours based
on cooking temperature (Low or High)?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature
after desired temperature has been reached.
