Resumen del manual
See the guide below for suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes. 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 AMOUNTSWhen 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 desired amount. STIRRING FOODLittle or no stirring is required when using the low or warm setting. When using the high setting, stirring ensures even flavor distribution. Heat Setting Low High 4-5 Lb. Chicken 6-8 Hours 3-4 Hours 4-5 Lb. Pot Roast 6-8 Hours 4-5 Hours Beef Stew 8-10 Hours 4-5 Hours Chili 8-10 Hours 4-5 Hours Vegetable Soup 6-8 Hours 3-4 Hours *The cooking times given above should be used ONLYas a guide. It is recommended that a thermometer be used to check the temperature to ensure the food is completely cooked.• The cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight fit on the ceramic pot but should be centered on the ceramic pot for best results. Do not remove the glass cover unnecessarily- this will result in major heat loss. Do not cook without the glass cover in place. • Stirring is not normally needed when using a slow cooker. However, if cooking on high, you may want to stir occasionally. • Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove glass cover, set the cooking mode to “High” , and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will take 30- 45 minutes. • The slow cooker should be at least half- filled for best results. • If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the ceramic pot and the food so that the food may be allowed to simmer. • Many recipes call for cooking all day. You can also prepare the recipe the night before by placing all ingredients in the ceramic pot, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place the ceramic pot in the slow cooker and select the temperature setting.
