Converting standard recipes/cooking times for slow
cooking
− Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and turnips require a longer cooking
time. Place them at the bottom of the bowl and cover them with liquid.
− Only add fresh milk or yogurt during the last 2 hours of the cooking time.
Evaporated milk can be added at the start of cooking.
− Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking times
(except pudding rice). Cook them separately and then add them to the slow
cooker during the last 30 minutes of the cooking time.
− Dried beans (such as dried kidney beans) must be soaked overnight. They
should be boiled for 10–15 minutes before placing them in the slow cooker.
− Add canned beans 30–45 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
− When making soup, stew or sauce, reduce the liquid or water required in the
original recipe. If it is too thick, liquids can be added later.
− When cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there needs to be liquid in the
recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the ceramic bowl.
− Use the following table as a reference to adapt recipes to the slow cooker:
