• High fat meats can result in dishes with less avor. Pre-cooking or browning will help reduce the amount
of fat and help to preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. If cooking meat
with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat.
If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim o excess fat from top of foods
before serving.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as
roast or poultry.
• Use the WARM setting to keep cooked food at the perfect serving temperature.
DO NOT cook foods on the WARM setting.
NOTE: Do not keep foods on the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
CONVERTING STANDARD RECIPES TO SLOW COOKING
• Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time
than many meats. Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid.
• If adding fresh milk or yogurt, this should be done during the last 2 hours.
Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking.
• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods.
Cook them separately and then add to the Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes.
