Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature
cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures
for longer
periods
of time. Slow Cook is ideal
for roasting
beef,
pork and poultry.
Slow cooking
meats may
result in the exterior
of meats becoming
dark
but will not burn
the outside
as it seals in the meat's juices. Two (2) Slow Cook
settings
are available,
high (Hi) or low (Lo). The high setting
is
best for cooking
foods
between
4 and 5 hours. The low setting
is
best for cooking
foods
up to 9 hours or longer.
Food Poisoning
Hazard.
Do not let food
sit for
more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing
so can result
in food
poisoning
or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry,
should
be chilled
in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled,
they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before
cooking
begins,
and should
be
removed
promptly
when finished
cooking.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
Completely
thaw all frozen
foods
before
cooking.
When
using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate
the size of various
bakeware
when cooking
multiple
food
items.
Do not open the oven door often
or leave the door open
when checking
foods.
If the oven heat escapes
often,
the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
Cover to keep foods 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,
and the shape of the roast. 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.
