USING THE 'SLOW COOK' SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING

1.All dishes cooked by the 'Slow Cook' setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours. They will 'hold' at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases.

2.Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30 minutes before turning to the 'Slow Cook' setting and never be cooked lower than the middle shelf position.

3.Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be cooked using the 'Slow Cook' setting.
