If you're looking for a versatile countertop cooking appliance, the NuWave Duet may be a good option for you. This two-in-one appliance can function as both an air fryer and a slow cooker, giving you the ability to cook a variety of foods with one appliance. While the Duet doesn't have specific slow cooker settings, it does have a low temperature setting that will allow you to slow cook your food. Here's everything you need to know about using the NuWave Duet as a slow cooker.
The first thing you'll need to do is select the correct cooking pan for your needs. The NuWave Duet comes with two different cooking pans - a 6-quart pan and an 8-quart pan. If you plan on making large batches of food or want leftovers, opt for the 8-quart pan. Otherwise, the 6-quart pan should suffice.
Once you've selected your pan, add your ingredients to the cooking pot and insert it into the base of the unit. Then, put the lid on top of the pot and make sure it's securely in place.
Next, select the 'low' setting on the control panel and set your desired cooking time using the up and down arrow buttons next to the setting. The NuWave Duet doesn't have preset slow cooker times like some other models, so you'll need to use your best judgement when deciding how long to cook your food. A general rule of thumb is that most slow cooker recipes can be cooked on low for 4-6 hours without issue.
Finally, press 'start' and let the NuWave Duet do its thing! Once your food is done cooking, carefully remove the lid (being careful of any escaping steam) and enjoy!
