hours on LOW.
PASTA AND RICE

before cooking in your slow cooker Heating Base Unit. Don’t overcook
— just until slightly tender. If cooked rice is called for, stir in with other
ingredients; add

cup of raw rice. Use long grain
converted rice for best results in all-day cooking.
LIQUIDS
Use less in slow cooking — usually about half the recommended
amount. One cup of liquid is enough for any recipe unless it contains
rice or pasta.
HERBS AND SPICES
Leaf or whole herbs and spices are preferred, but their flavor power may
increase — use half the recommended amount. If you use ground herbs
and spices, add during last hour of cooking.
MILK
Milk, cream and sour cream tend to break down during extended
cooking. When possible add during last hour of cooking. Condensed
soups may be substituted for milk, etc., and can cook for extended
times.
SOUPS
Some soup recipes call for 2 to 3 quarts of water. Add other soup
ingredients to

slow cooker; then add water only to cover. If
