Foods such as pot roast and stews are best cooked on low. • Add thawed ingredients for better results. • Vegetables cook more slowly than meats, therefore, place them in the bottom of inner pot or around the sides. • Mix seasonings well in a separate bowl, then put them in inner pot. • Do not use SLOW COOK for reheating foods. 14
