428-0886(03EFM1)_ENG&FR (v).qxd 5/9/03 10:45 Page 4 HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER (CONT.) 1. There are two temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day” cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 1⁄2 hours on LOW. 2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens) unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid.
28-0886(03EFM1)_ENG&FR (v).qxd 5/9/03 10:45 Page 6 HINTS • Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a separate skillet or broiler and drain well before adding to cooker.) Season with salt and pepper. Place meat in cooker on top of vegetables. • For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than specified in the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are retained in slow cooking than in conventional cooking.
428-0886(03EFM1)_ENG&FR (v).qxd 5/9/03 10:45 Page 8 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q “Can I cook a roast without adding water?” A Yes – if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount because the gravies are especially tasty. The more fat or “marbling” the meat has, the less liquid you need. The liquid is needed to properly soften and cook vegetables.
