amount of fat and help to preserve color while adding richer avor.
• Whole herbs and spices avor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, continue to cook 1 hour (1:00). Check every
15 minutes. Aer about 30 to 45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.
• When cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the cooking pot, to allow
ingredients to simmer.
• Recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require 3 to 4 hours.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods le whole such as roast or poultry.
• Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many meats.
POWER Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Rice Cooker and cover them with liquid.
• Add fresh dairy products (milk, sour cream or yogurt) prior to serving. Evaporated milk or condensed creamed
soups may be added at the start of cooking.
