The Slow Cook function may be used to cook foods more slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or
Slow Cook 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.
For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
•Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.
•When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3.
•Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils 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 extended.
•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 recipe’s recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
•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.
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 refrigerator 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.
