FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.
2. Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the ON switch since it is not intended to be
an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
3. Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 1½ inches.
It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.
4. When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.
5. Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end of
the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an
additional 5 to 10 minutes.
