and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and bone structure.
Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than
meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork
shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required
cook times.
• Cutmeatintosmallerpieceswhencookingwithprecookedfoodssuchas
beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, eggplant,
or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.
• Whencookingfrozenmeats,atleast1cupofwarmliquidmustfirstbe
added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature
changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically
required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to defrost
and tenderize.
