GUIDE FOR ADAPTING RECIPES Q A Q A This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the Crock-Pot® slow cooker -- your own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food companies, newspapers and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation time with fewer steps and dishes. . . and to keep cooking simple. In most cases, all ingredients can go into your stoneware in the beginning and can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when using the Crock-Pot® slow cooker. A few hints: · Allow sufficient cooking time. * · Cook with cover on. · Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate. · Remember -- liquids don't "boil away" as in conventional cooking. Usually you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less. · It's "one-step" cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add ingredients to the stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add any liquid last). · Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or on your range. Therefore, everything can go into the stoneware at one time. Exception: milk, sour cream or cream should be added during last hour. -5- TIME GUIDE *Most uncooked meat and vegetable combinations will require at least 8 hours on LOW.
