COOKING GUIDE AND TIPS
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to overcook food
in the slow cooker, particularly when using the Low setting. Most of the recipes
contained within this book can be cooked on either the Low or High temperature setting,
however the cooking times will vary accordingly.
Adapting Cooking Times
See the guide below for suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your
favorite recipes from regular cooking to the slow cooker.
Traditional Recipe Time
Note: These times are approximate.
Liquid Amounts:
Very little liquid boils away in the slow cooker. It is advisable to use half of the liquid
required for traditional recipes to compensate. If after cooking, the liquid content is
excessive, remove the lid and operate the slow cooker on the high setting for 30-45
minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desirable amount.
Stirring Food:
Little or no stirring is required when using the Low or Keep Warm setting. When using
the High setting, stirring at times will ensure evenly distributed flavor.
