Resist the urge to lift the lid and take a peek! The heat that you lose will add

as much as 30 minutes to the cooking time. If you must stir, resume timing when

the mixture begins to bubble again.

 

Cooking for 1 hour on high is the same as 2 and 2 1/2 hours on low.

 

If food is not done within the time stated in the recipe, it could be because

you live at an altitude above 4,000 feet, the voltage is low in your area, you

have used frozen foods which take longer to heat, or you have filled your slow

cooker too full.

 

At altitudes above 4,000 feet, plan to cook your food for the maximum time

specified in the recipe, especially if the recipe includes vegetables such as

carrots, onion, celery, cabbage or potatoes. Dried beans will tenderize best if

soaked overnight.

 

After the food has finished cooking, it can usually be held in the slow cooker

for an hour on the low setting without overcooking. If the food was originally

cooked on the high setting, reduce the heat to low once it is done. Do check

occasionally to see if it needs stirring or is overcooked.
