Select heat setting and cook food for recommended time as given in recipe. As
a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 7 to 10 hours
of cooking at “LO” (#3), 4 to 6 hours of cooking at “Med” (#4) or 2 to 3 hours of
cooking at “HI” (#5). Meats will become most tender when cooked for the longer
time at the lower heat setting. Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as
cooking time will be increased due to loss of heat. Remove cover only when
needed to stir occasionally or when adding ingredients.
