These recipes have been specifically created to be prepared at low temperatures in a HOTLOGIC®. After a lifetime of high temperature cooking, I needed to do a bit of studying and a whole lot of trial and error to learn what will fully cook/bake at temperatures below 180°F. Some of the items I was able to prepare, completely amazed me.
The time required to prepare some of these foods can be long. These recipes allow those who do not have access to a full kitchen to be able to enjoy favorite dishes wherever they are. If they have access to an electric outlet, they can prepare a special dessert or dish to bring to a party. These recipes will give individuals ideas of foods they can make and enjoy.
Place – Plug – Zip
You may notice that most of my recipe instructions say, “PLACE covered dish in the HOTLOGIC®. PLUG in the HOTLOGIC® and ZIP shut. Cook for # hours.” The reason I give the instruction to plug in your HOTLOGIC® before zipping it shut, is because I have forgotten a time or two to plug it in. It is very disappointing to be hungry and reach for my HOTLOGIC® only to realize the food is still cold because I forgot to plug it in. So, I have adopted the habit (sometimes) of plugging in first and then zipping it shut. This habit makes my stomach happier.
Food Prep Tools
I have tried to find methods to use that limit the amount of electricity needed in case someone in a converted van is making the recipe. The following is a list of appliances that may be used along with a HOTLOGIC® to prepare and cook/bake the food.

- hot water kettle
- chef torch
