Prepare for Slo-Cook
™
Facts and Hints to Remember
• Amana’s Slo-Cook™ feature simulates a traditional
crockpot by cooking food slowly at a low temperature.
• Slo-Cook™ provides enhanced flavor and tenderness,
since food is cooked slowly at low temperature.
• Meats cooked at low temperature shrink less and are
more tender, thus allowing less expensive cuts of meat
to be used.
• Slo-Cook™ time for meat varys depending on
distribution and amount of fat, bone, weight, and
shape.
• Meats may be placed on Slo-Cook™ trivet to avoid
saturation of juices and to brown.
• Dairy products such as milk, cheese, sour cream,
and condensed cream soups have a tendency to
separate, break down, and mix with other ingredients
during Slo-Cook™.
• Fresh vegetables tend to discolor or turn dark during
Slo-Cook™. Discoloration can be avoided by using
frozen or blanched vegetables.
• Spices are enhanced and liquids do not boil away
when cooked slowly at low temperature.
• Food flavors are not mixed when cooked in the oven in
separate, covered dishes. Covered dishes generally
cook more evenly and retain moisture.
• Mixing, cooking, and serving an entire meal in the
same oven-proof glass or stoneware can be
accomplished with the Slo-Cook™ feature.
• A standard oven cavity allows four rack positions for
placing dishes in oven for Slo-Cook™.
• No preheating of oven is necessary before using the
Slo-Cook™ feature.
• Valuable heat loss is prevented since stirring is not
necessary during Slo-Cook™. It is important not to
open oven door during Slo-Cook™, as heat loss will
occur resulting in extended cooking time.
Suggested Dish Arrangements
• Determine rack level by dish size and amount of food.
• Covered dishes retain moisture better than uncovered
dishes.
• Casserole items with bread or cracker topping should
be left uncovered so toppings stay crisp.
• Roast should not be covered so a rich browness can be
obtained.
• Wrap food items like baking potatoes and corn on the
cob in foil.
• While using Slo-cook™ feature, one-dish items such
as casseroles require adding a separate dish with
water. This is important as it prevents overcooking of
food.
Slo-Cook™ Trivet
Oven includes Slo-Cook™ trivet. This trivet should be
placed in pan or roaster. Slo-Cook™ trivet elevates food
keeping it out of food liquids.
