26 Setting Oven Controls Slow Cook Slow cook may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provide cooking results much the same way as a slow cooker or crock-pot. Slow cook is ideal for roasting beef (ribs and brisket), pork, and poultry. It may be set with cook time, and cook time/end time. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal. Slow cook uses the hidden bake element to maintain a low temperature in the oven. The meat probe cannot be used in this cooking mode. There are two settings available, high (HI) or low (LO). The maximum cook time for slow cook is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the continuous bake mode. To set slow cook with a low setting: Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be removed promptly when finished cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food or adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven in completely cooled if possible. When cooking, the oven interior and oven racks will become hot enough to cause burns. 1. Place the food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven. If changing cooking times, use cook time or end time to make the needed changes. Refer to "Cook Time" and "Setting Cook Time with End Time" on page 15 for instructions on how to use these features. For best results: • Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal. • Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking. • Arrange food in center of oven. • Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when baking multiple food items. • Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking. • Do not frequently open the oven door or leave the oven door open when checking food items. The more heat that is lost, the longer the food will need to cook. • Cover foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown. • Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. • Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. 2. Select an oven by pressing either UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. 3. Press slow cook. The default setting Hi appears in the display. If you need a low setting, press -lo to select the Lo setting. 4. Press START enter. To change any cook settings after slow cook has started, press +hi or -lo and release. 5. Press CANCEL off to stop slow cook at any time.
