HINTS FOR SLOW COOK
Recipes may be used to SLOW COOK by using the following
guidelines.
• All baking dishes should be covered. Aluminum foil may be used
if ends are tucked against edge of pan.
• Ovenproof glass and ceramic dishes are recommended.
• Aluminum foil pans and pans that will rust, such as cast iron or tin
should not be used.
• Separate dishes can cook simultaneously, yet food retains its own
flavor. Select foods that will take the same amount of time to cook.
• Milk, cream and sour cream may curdle. It is best to add them in
the last hour of cooking. If a recipe specifies one of these
ingredients as the only liquid in the cooking process, try
substituting evaporated milk, water or condensed soup, such as
cream of mushroom or chicken soup.
• Slow cooking enhances the flavor of spices and salt. We
recommend you reduce seasoning in your own recipes.
• Precooked spaghetti and pasta products should be added in the
last hour of slow cooking.
