TIPS & TRICKS
•During slow cooking, liquids do not boil away. Begin with a small amount of liquid and add more during the cooking process when needed. If there is too much liquid at the end of the cooking process, set the slow cooker to hi (
) (15). Cook on this setting to reduce liquid.
•For better flavor do not crush or ground herbs and spices.
•If cooking on lo (
) (14) setting, some recipes may require 9 hours.
•Meats with a high fat percentage can influence the flavor of the dish. Browning or precooking can reduce the fat.
•Cut large foods into smaller pieces to decrease cooking time.
•Some vegetables require a longer cooking time. Place vegetables like potatoes, carrots or beets on the bottom of the ceramic pot. Cover with liquid.
