You are probably ready to develop new
recipes for use in your slow cooker. If
the recipe was originally cooked in a
saucepan on the stovetop, or slow
roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe
should be easy.
If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before
Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but
different from conventional methods.
Take a few minutes and read “How to
Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.”
You’ll soon be convinced that a slow
cooker is a necessity. There are also
many slow cooker recipe books avail-
able in the library or book store. If you
have any questions, call our toll-free
customer service number. We’ll be glad
to help.
Our slow cooker heats from the sides.
The base slowly raises the temperature
of the pan. Whether cooked on Low or
High, the final temperature of the food is
the same, about 200°F. The only differ-
ence is the amount of time the cooking
process takes.
