• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods
such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms,
diced onion, eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables
all food to cook at the same rate.
• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must
first be added. The liquid will act as a "cushion" to prevent sudden
temperature changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours
on HIGH is typically required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it
may take much longer to defrost and tenderize.
FISH
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking
cycle during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.
LIQUID
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning,
always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.
• Ensure the stoneware is always filled a minimum of ½ full and a
maximum of ¾ full, and conform to recommended cook times.
