Guide to Slow Cooking
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to overcook food
in the slow cooker, particularly when using the low or keep warm settings. Most of the
recipes contained within this book can be cooked on any one of the temperature
settings, however the cooking times will vary accordingly. Each recipe in this book will
give specific instructions indicating the appropriate temperature setting as well as the
suggested cooking times to use.
Adapting Cooking Times
Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily by halving the amount of liquid
and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the guide below for suggested
cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes.
Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker Recipe Time
15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW
60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW
1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW

new slow cooker may emit an odor for
up to 10 minutes. This is due to the
initial heating of the materials used in
making the slow cooker. The odor is
safe and should not reoccur after initial
heating.
