Using the Slow Cook Feature
The Cool SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature.
The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more
slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking
results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot.
The Slow Cook 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.
There are 2 settings available, high (HI) orlow(LO). The
maximum cook time for the Slow Cook feature is 12 hours
unless the oven control has been changed to the
Continuous Bake mode orthe Sabbath mode has been
activated.This feature may be used with the additional
settings of a Timed Bake Slow Cook (see Timed Bake
beginning with step 5-7) or a Delayed Start Bake Slow
Cook (see Delayed Start Bake steps 5-10).
Below is a list of preparation and cooking tips you should
review for best possible results using Slow Cook:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the
Slow Cook feature.
• When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food item.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the dooropen
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.
See the suggested Slow Cook feature recipes provided in
the back of this Use & Care Guide.
