Traditional RecipeTimeSlow CookerRecipe Time15-30 minutes4-6 hours onLOW60 minutes6-8 hours onLOW1-3 hours8-12 hours onLOWNote: These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients and quantities in recipes. All food should be cooked with the glass lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted, both the heat and moisture in the food are lost. Cooking times should thus be extended by approximately 30 minutes. LIQUID AMOUNTSWhen food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To compensate for this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes. However, if after cooking, the liquid content is excessive, remove the lid and operate the slow cooker on the high setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desired amount.
