Tips for Slow Cooking

•The stovetop-safe cookware should be at least half-filled for best results. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe.

•Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir occasionally.

•If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5 cm) space between the top of the stovetop-safe cookware and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.

•Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in stovetop-safe cookware, cover with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place stovetop-safe cookware in slow cooker.

•Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before searing or slow cooking.

•Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.

•The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.

•Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.

•If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of stovetop-safe cookware.

•Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time. The vent hole may be used with a temperature probe to test food doneness. Visit foodsafety.gov for safe cooking temperature information.
