About slow cook

The slow cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly at lower oven temperatures. The cooking results will be like that of a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. This feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt; this is normal. Slow cook may be set in the upper or lower oven.

Slow cook may be set with the following options:

•Cook time

•Cook time with end time

•Probe

The following temperature settings apply to the slow cook feature:

•HI: 275°F/ 134°C (default) for cooking 4 to 5 hours

•Lo: 225°F / 108°C for cooking 8 to 9 hours

For best results

•Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

•When using a single oven rack, place in position 2 or 3.

•Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food item.

•Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

•Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. The more heat that is lost, the longer the food will need to cook.

•Cover the foods to keep them 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 & the shape of the roast.

•Use the probe to check the temperature to determine when your food is done.

•Preheating the oven will not be necessary.
