SLOW COOKING RECIPES
Due to the nature of slow cooking, meat does not brown as it would if cooked in a skillet
or oven. It is not necessary to brown meat or poultry before slow cooking, but you may
prefer the avor and appearance of browned meat.
Browning ground beef, bacon, and sausage before slow cooking may be desirable to
remove excess fat.
Avoid removing the cover during slow cooking because it will result in signicant loss of
heat and steam. If you must open the cover to check on cooking progress, do so quickly.
Some dense and crisp vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and turnips take longer to cook
than meat, so cut vegetables into smaller pieces when adding to meat dishes.
IMPORTANT: When slow cooking, place the quick pressure release valve on the vent
pipe in the STEAM OUT position.
