Slow Cooking; Basic Cooking Procedure - Tiger JBA-A10G Operating Instructions Manual

SLOW COOKING

The food is first brought to a near boiling state, and then it is lowered to about 207°F/97°C and left to simmer.
The temperature is then lowered even further to about 198°F/92°C and simmering continues. By gradually
lowering the heat, flavors will seep into the foods well. The temperature will remain at a constant temperature
regardless if heating for an extended amount of time.
This process is ideal for slowly simmering large quantities of food that requires a longer time, such as stews.
Sample Menu
Beef Stew with Vegetables, Oden
For "Beef Stew with Vegetables" or "Oden" recipes, see page 23 of the Menu Guide.
NOTE/ Cooking tip:
● Foods other than those described in the Menu Guide may boil over, therefore use with caution.
● Stir foods well to prevent seasonings from settling on the bottom of the inner pan.
● To simmer foods in broth, do not add hot broth.
● To thicken with starch, add it toward the last stage of the cooking process.
● Kneaded foods such as fish sausage and fish cake, or any other processed fish product.
