HELPFUL HINTS
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture, remove
the lid after cooking and turn the control to HIGH.
• DO NOT remove the lid unnecessarily while cooking. The built-up heat will
escape and you’ll have to allow additional cooking time.
• If cooking soup, leave a 2" space between the top of the cooking pot and
the food surface.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8–10 hours on LOW or 4–6 hours
on HIGH.
• Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk
and cream should be added toward the end of the cooking time.
• Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook: water and fat
content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the food.
• Before slow cooking, browning meat in a pan on the stovetop will add
flavor, help seal in the juices and reduce fat content.
