COOKING GUIDELINES 

SLOW COOKING

 

Slow cooking is perfect for foods that require long, slow simmering, such as soups, 
stocks, stews, and dried beans. Slow cooking is also ideal for tougher and less 
expensive cuts of meat like shoulder and pot roast.

The Simmer and Low settings are usually used for recipes that cook longer. When 
starting a dish later in the day, select the High setting to ensure that food is cooked, 
warm, and ready when you’d like to eat.

To reheat foods, use Brown/Sauté at 350°F and stir until all ingredients are warmed 
through. Then switch to Slow Cook/Warm until ready to serve.

Choose cuts that 
are full of flavor 
and benefit from 
braising to 
tenderize.

Less tender cuts 
work best.
Tenderloin will 
become tough if 
slow cooked.

Choose flavorful 
cuts that benefit 
from braising to 
tenderize.

Best choice – dark 
meat – bone-in.   
Breast meat can  
become dry when 
Slow Cooked.
