NOTES:
• Add pre-heated water to the slow cooker. The unit should only be
used to maintain water to the desired temperature.
• For thicker meat, chicken, and fish, cooking time will be longer.
• Visit
www.foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.gov for more information on
safe internal cooking temperatures.
Using the HOLD TEMP feature to Sous Vide is a no-fail method of cooking
sealed food in a precisely temperature-controlled water bath, ensuring
that food is evenly cooked throughout and reducing the chance of over-
or undercooking. See page 5 to set temperature and HOLD TEMP time.
The HOLD TEMP feature in TEMP mode allows your slow cooker to be
used a variety of new ways. Use your slow cooker to braise, simmer,
make yogurt, reheat foods, even keep fondue warm and so much more.
