When the Slow Cook function has completed,
the oven will go into the Warm mode. Display
will say "Cooking Complete Keeping Warm." The
total time the oven will be on (Slow Cook time
plus Warm time) is 12 hours. This is because of
the safety 12-Hour Shutdown feature described
on page 22.
NOTE: If a power outage occurs while the oven
is in Slow Cook, the oven will shut off.
Guideline Tips
The slow cook program uses a complex series of
temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this
reason, it is recommended that the slow cook program
be allowed to run without canceling or restarting.
Restarting the slow cook feature while it is in progress
may result in overcooked meat.
For juicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such
as chuck roast or a boneless blade roast. Leaner cuts
of meat, such as top round, are drier and may need
additional liquid.
Use only glass and ceramic dishes. Metal pots and
pans tend to transfer the heat into the foods
too quickly.
Match the quantity of food to the size pan. Fill the pan
about 3/4 full for best results. Too large a pot allows
the steam to escape, causing foods to dry out.
Always cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.
A wide range of recipes may be used in the slow
cook feature. For best results some adjustments
may need to be made. For smaller sized recipes,
begin checking at minimum time. For large recipes
or when doubling recipes, foods may be cooked for
longer periods of time.
When the slow cook feature completes, the oven will
automatically switch to "warm" mode. If additional
slow cook time is desired, this warm mode may be
used to obtain the extra time.
Baking time is determined by package
directions.
