SPECIAL NOTES ON SLOW COOKING
For better cooking result, always try to:
1. Cut the ingredients into smaller pieces.
2. Add in adequate liquid as medium (eg: water, sauce) and try to submerge the ingredients into the
liquid in order to avoid scorching. This is especially important when stew meat or chicken soup is
prepared.
3. When soup or large quantity is prepared, make sure that the water level is at least 1 1 /
2
inches (3.8cm)
from the rim of casserole, otherwise spill over may result.
4. Do not add too much seasonings or salt at the initial stage of cooking. Try to add (especially salt) soon
after or just after finish.
5. Cook with the casserole lid on. Also please do not open the lid during cooking as this may disturb the
cooking sequence.
6. Stir and stand after cooking.
