Helpful hints for successful slow cooking:
n
Allow plenty of time for cooking. Slow Cooking is so
gentle that an extra hour or even two will generally not
ruin the food.
n
It is not necessary to brown meat first, except to remove
excess fat. It is better to cut off excess fat and discard.
You can, of course, brown meat to add additional
flavor or stir fry all slow-cooking ingredients to speed
up cooking.
n
Some crisp vegetables such as carrots, celery, turnips
and beets can take longer to cook than some meats.
Consider this in the preparation.
n
For simmering soups, sauces, stews, chowders and
chili: fill the Multi-Fryer no higher than 1

” from
the top. Select
SLOW COOK
and adjust temperature.
Your Multi-Fryer can be left on for up to 9 hours and
59 minutes at that setting.
n
Fish, seafood, rice, pasta and “light” products cook
quickly. They should be added toward the end of the
cooking time.
n
Variances in household electric current, altitude, volume
of food and temperature of food being prepared all
affect the cooking time. You can generally reduce
cooking times by selecting the next highest temperature
setting for part of the time.
