Prepare for Slo-Cook�
Facts and Hints to Remember � Amana�s Slo-Cook� feature simulates a traditional crock pot by cooking food slowly at a low temperature. � Slo-Cook� provides enhanced flavor and tenderness, since food is cooked slowly at low temperature. � Meats cooked at low temperature shrink less and are more tender, thus allowing less expensive cuts of meat to be used. � Slo-Cook� time for meat varys depending on distribution and amount of fat, bone, weight, and shape. � Meats may be placed on Slo-Cook� trivet to avoid saturation of juices and to brown. � Dairy products such as milk, cheese, sour cream, and condensed cream soups have a tendency to separate, break down, and mix with other ingredients during Slo-Cook�. � Fresh vegetables tend to discolor or turn dark during Slo-Cook�. Discoloration can be avoided by using frozen or blanched vegetables. � Spices are enhanced and liquids do not boil away when cooked slowly at low temperature. � Food flavors are not mixed when cooked in the oven in separate, covered dishes. Covered dishes generally cook more evenly and retain moisture. � Mixing, cooking, and serving an entire meal in the same oven-proof glass or stoneware can be accomplished with the Slo-Cook� feature. � A standard oven cavity allows four rack positions for placing dishes in oven for Slo-Cook�. � No preheating of oven is necessary before using the Slo-Cook� feature. � Valuable heat loss is prevented since stirring is not necessary during Slo-Cook�. It is important not to open oven door during Slo-Cook�, as heat loss will occur resulting in extended cooking time. Suggested Dish Arrangements � Determine rack level by dish size and amount of food. � Covered dishes retain moisture better than uncovered dishes. � Casserole items with bread or cracker topping should be left uncovered so toppings stay crisp. � Roast should not be covered so a rich browness can be obtained. � Wrap food items like baking potatoes and corn on the cob in foil. � While using Slo-cook� feature, one-dish items such as casseroles require adding a separate dish with water. This is important as it prevents overcooking of food.

Slo-Cook� Trivet Oven includes Slo-Cook� trivet. This trivet should be placed in pan or roaster. Slo-Cook� trivet elevates food keeping it out of food liquids.
