• The BBQ Pit has a well at the bottom of the stoneware pan where
liquid can be added to keep food moist. It is never recommended
to add more than 1 inch of liquid to the bottom of the stoneware.

NOTE:

- If choosing to baste meat during cooking process, use High

setting to maintain proper cooking temperature.

- If choosing to cook on Low setting, it is recommended that the lid

remain closed during cooking process to maintain proper cooking
temperature.

- If cooking on Low setting, baste during the last 30 minutes of

cooking only to ensure proper cooking temperature is maintained.

CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other liquid.

REMOVABLE STONEWARE

• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or
may be washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning
compounds.

• A cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner
(such as Bon-Ami

• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.

CARE OF STONEWARE

As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware pan will not withstand the
shock of sudden temperature changes.

• Do not put cold foods in the stoneware pan if it has been preheated
or is hot to the touch. Do not preheat Crock-Pot

®

BBQ Pit before
using unless specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at
room temperature before adding hot foods.

• To wash your stoneware pan right after cooking, use hot water.
Do not pour in cold water if the stoneware is hot.

• The lid handle may get hot while cooking, use of an oven mitt while
handling is advised.

Cooking with the

BBQ Pit Slow Roaster

Introduction

Although grilling and barbeque have long been thought of as syn­onomous, the purist will hold true that Classic barbeque refers to slow
cooked meat. Cooking at lower temperatures allows meat to become
tender while preserving its natural juices. The long cooking period allows
for several different, simple cooking techniques to be used to create
fabulous flavor while offering the cook time to enjoy life with family and
friends. You will find that your BBQ Pit has amazing versatility and allows
you to cook hands free all day. You will create simple, memorable dishes
with the greatest of ease.

About BBQ Pit Slow Roasting

Slow roasting offers time to break down the connective tissues of meat
resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Long, slow cooking transforms
the meat into a tender, juicy and flavorful dish.

See chart on page 10 to guide you on specific techniques and cook
times for different cuts of meat.

Techniques

There are many barbeque pit roasting techniques and the right
technique or combination of techniques will give meats the best flavor
possible. Barbeque sauces, glazes, rubs, marinades, and dry, slow
roasting can all be used successfully with your BBQ Pit Slow Roaster.

While briskets are favored in Texas, pork shoulders in North Carolina,
ribs in Kansas and chicken in Louisiana, regional favorites are due to the
type of animals raised in the area. Try experimenting with your own
favorite cuts and recipes using one of these techniques or a combination
of techniques to create a tender, flavorful dish your friends and family will
ask for again and again.

The Flavorings

Rubs

Dry rubs typically are a mix of salt, spices and herbs used to season and
tenderize meat to enhance the flavor by coating the exterior of the meat.

Wet rubs (or mops) typically contain some type of acid (vinegar, citrus,
tomato, etc.) which further tenderize the meat by breaking down the collagen.

Basting Sauces and Glazes

Along with low temperature, a flavorful basting sauce or glaze can be the
secret of delicious barbeque. A good sauce will flavor and tenderize the meat
and keep the exterior moist while the inside cooks. Vinegar, water, salt
and pepper constitute the basic barbeque basting sauce. You can create
your own special sauce with the addition of mustard, ketchup, or a host
of other ingredients – or choose from the recipes included. Many of the
recipes included are very versatile and can be used with a variety of meats.

8

Basting Tips

Brush sauce or glaze on meat during last 1/2 hour of cooking, every
10 to 15 minutes. If choosing to baste more often, use High setting to
maintain proper cooking temperature.

NOTE: Be sure to wash your basting brush in hot, soapy water before using on cooked
meat if previously used on raw meat.

Marinades

Using a liquid marinade for meat that is set in the refrigerator will
not only give meat flavor, but will help in breaking down the fat. After
marinating meat, blot dry with paper towels. For tough cuts of meat, try
marinating overnight and then baste every 10 to 15 minutes with a sauce
or glaze to finish the dish during the last half hour of cooking.

NOTE: Seafood will absorb marinade very quickly. Do not marinate seafood for longer
than 1/2 hour.

The Cooking Processes

Roasting

Large roasts can be slow roasted in the BBQ Pit on the High setting
with great result. A constant, low temperature will offer an evenly cooked
pink center and give less shrinkage than when cooked in an oven at a
higher temperature. Meat cuts that will benefit from this dry roasting tech­nique are large, tender, well marbled roasts typically cut from the rib, loin
or leg.

Brines

Brining, or soaking meat in a saltwater/seasoned water bath prior to
cooking, is an excellent way to add flavor and juiciness to the meat prior
to cooking in the BBQ Pit. This method works wonderfully with a variety
of poultry and meats. When brining, the meat cells absorb the
liquid and any flavoring you’ve used, distributing the flavor throughout
the meat.

A basic brine solution is 1/2 cup of kosher salt and 1/2 cup of sugar
(substitute honey, brown sugar or molasses if desired) to 1 gallon of
water (season or substitute water with juice, wine, beer, vinegar, soy or
stock). You can add a variety of flavors to the brine such as garlic, onion,
peppercorns, hot pepper flakes, fresh or dried herbs or spices such as
mustard seed, coriander seed or bay leaves.

Fully submerge meat in brine; place a heavy plate on top of meat to
keep in liquid or place brine and meat in a zip top bag. Rinse and dry
meat after brining and do not salt meat before cooking. While brining,
always keep meat in refrigerator. Discard brining liquid after use.

Brining times:

Whole Chicken: 3 to 12 hours Turkey: 24 hours

Pork Tenderloin: 6 to 12 hours Whole Pork Roast: 2 to 4 days

Recommended Settings, Cook Time and Techniques

Note: Times are approximate. Meat density and other marbling characteristics may alter appropri­ate cooktimes. Always cook meat to the proper internal temperature to ensure food safety.
Use a meat thermometer to determine internal temperature. Some whole poultry items are sold
with a pop-up style meat thermometer, check temperature with a traditional meat thermometer
to ensure proper temperature has been reached. The Low setting cooks at 230*F. The High
setting cooks food at 280ºF. Lifting lid will cause heat loss. Adjust cook time accordingly.

Hints & Tips

Your BBQ Pit is equipped with a roasting rack
for cooking 3 whole beef baby back ribs or for
cooking roasts weighing up to 7 pounds such as

roasts, rump roasts or brisket (See insets on

pot

Remove fat and sinew before marinating or basting.

Beef can be marinated 2 hours to overnight in
a vacuum sealed or zip top bag, or used with our
various recipes for spice rubs, sauces or a combi­nation of techniques for maximum flavor.

• Stud roasts with garlic slivers for a simple way
to impart aromatic flavor to the meat.

• Score brisket and flank steak on both sides to
promote flavor absorption and tenderness.
