Cooking Modes
SLOW COOK
This mode may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provide
cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The Slow Cook feature
is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of
meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal. The Slow Cook mode uses the hidden
bake element to maintain a low temperature in the oven. The temperature probe cannot be
used in this cooking mode. There are 2 settings available, high (HI) or low (LO). The maximum
cook time for the Slow Cook feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed
to the Continuous Bake mode.
Slow Cook Tips:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook feature.
• When using a single rack, position it in the center of the oven.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple
food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven
heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to
turn crisp or brown.
• Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat content, bone & the shape of the meat.
• Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine
when the food is done.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.
