Comments
For crisp, dry chicken, cover
only after switching to LO
for 10 minutes. Uncover and
cook, turning occasionally
for 10 to 20 minutes.
A more attention-free method
is to start and cook at MED.
Meat may be breaded or
marinated in sauce before
frying.
Add salt or other seasoning
before cooking if meat has
not been smoked or
otherwise cured.
When melting marshmallows,
add milk or water.
Thick batter takes slightly
longer time. Turn over
pancakes when bubbles
rise to surface.
Use large enough kettle to
prevent boilover. Pasta
doubles in size when cooked.
Cooker should jiggle 2 to 3
times per minute.
Stir frequently to prevent
sticking.
Uncovered pan requires more
water and longer time.
Break up or stir as needed
while cooking.
Turn over or stir vegetable as
necessary for even browning.
Rice and grits triple in volume
after cooking. Time at WARM.
Rice: 1 cup rice and 2 cups
water for 25 minutes.
Grits: 1 cup grits and 4 cups
water for 40 minutes.
