If using a specific recipe, one item may be substituted for another, if an equal quantity is used.
For example, if recipe calls for a 12-oz. can of chicken broth, a 10-oz. can of tomato soup plus
2 oz. of something else (water, wine, canned tomatoes) may be substituted.
Canned beans may be added directly to any recipe, but dried beans, especially red kidney
beans, should be soaked in water (if desired) and boiled first. After covering and boiling in
3 times their volume of unsalted water, add beans to recipe and discard water. Beans must be
softened completely before they are combined with sugary and/or acid foods, as these have
a hardening effect on beans. In this case, beans should be allowed to simmer until tender
(about 1
1
2 hours) after boiling.
Recipe Amounts
Recipes included have been designed to work in either a 4-quart or 6-quart slow cooker. However,
they may be adjusted to accommodate individual requirements. Use the number of servings
suggested by each recipe as a guideline. Some helpful tips:
If using a 6-quart. cooker, recipe amounts may be increased by 1/2 (50%), but cooking time may
need to be extended.
Depending on their shape, roasts and picnic hams (up to 5 lb.) may be accommodated in the
cooker. Monitor carefully, as additional cooking time may be required.
Remember the rule of substitution when increasing recipe amounts: Items may be substituted,
so long as they are replaced with an equal amount of something else.
Happy slow cooking!
