Guide to Slow Cooking
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to
overcook food in the slow cooker, particularly when using the low or keep warm
settings. Most of the recipes contained within this book can be cooked on any
one of the temperature settings, however the cooking times will vary
accordingly. Each recipe in this book will give specific instructions indicating the
appropriate temperature setting as well as the suggested cooking times to use.
Adapting Cooking Times
Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily by halving the amount of
liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the guide below for
suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes.
Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker Recipe Time
15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW
60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW
1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW
Note: These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients
and quantities in recipes.
All food should be cooked with the glass lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,
both the heat and moisture in the food are lost. Cooking times should thus be
extended by approximately 30 minutes.
Liquid Amounts
When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To
compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking, the liquid content is excessive, remove the lid and
operate the slow cooker on the high setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid
reduces by the desirable amount.
Stirring Food
Little or no stirring is required when using the low or keep warm setting. when
using the high setting, stirring ensures even flavor distribution.
Heat Setting Low High
3-4 Lb. Chicken 6-8 Hours 3-4 Hours
3-4 Lb. Pot Roast 6-8 Hours 4-5 Hours
3 Qt. Beef Stew 8-10 Hours 4-5 Hours
3 Qt. Chili 8-10 Hours 4-5 Hours
3 Qt. Vegetable Soup 6-8 Hours 3-4 Hours
