•The temperature, size and density of ingredients will affect cooking times. Check cooked foods with a meat thermometer, if possible, to make sure they reach an internal temperature of 160˚F.
Don’t Peek!
Remember to keep the lid in place while slow cooking. Each time you remove the lid, the temperature drops, extending the cooking time.
