Basic Guide to Slow Cooking As most food cooked in the slow cooker, the food you are preparing can be cooked over a period of 6-9 hours. The prepared food can simply be placed in the cooking pot in the slow cooker and switched on. Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to overcook in the slow cooker; particularly when using the low heat setting. Adapting Cooking Times Your favorite recipes can easily be adapted for slow cooking by halving the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time. See the following guide for suggested cooking times and settings: Traditional Recipe Time 15-30 minutes 60 minutes 1-3 hours Slow cooker Recipe Time 4-6 hours on Low Heat 6-8 hours on Low Heat 8-12 hours on Low Heat Note: These times are approximate and can vary depending on the ingredients and quantities in each recipe. AII food should be cooked with the glass lid in position. Each time the lid is lifted, both heat and moisture in the food are lost. Cooking times should be extended by approximately 30 minutes to compensate for this. When cooking meat, it is recommended that a suitable thermometer be used to ensure the food is completely cooked.
