Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn the outside as it seals in the meat’s juices.
Two Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours. The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger- ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
•Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
•When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
•Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
•Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
•Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
•Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.
Important note:
•Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook Time and Delay Start.
•The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the continuous bake mode.
