Slow Cooking Recipes
Due to the nature of slow cooking, meat does not brown as it would if cooked in a skillet or oven. It is not necessary to brown meat or
poultry before slow cooking, but you may prefer the flavor and appearance of browned meat. Browning ground beef, bacon, and sausage
before slow cooking may be desirable to remove excess fat.
Avoid removing the cover during slow cooking because it will result in significant loss of heat and steam. If you must open the cover to
check on cooking progress, do so quickly.
Some dense and crisp vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and turnips take longer to cook than meat, so cut vegetables into smaller pieces
when adding to meat dishes.
IMPORTANT: When slow cooking, place the quick pressure release valve on the vent pipe in the STEAM OUT position.
