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 180ºF. Some of the items I was able to prepare, completely amazed me.
When you look at the time required to prepare some of these foods, you may think it’s not worth the hassle to try the recipe yourself. That is perfectly fine. Not everyone has access to a full kitchen all of the time and may still want to be able to make a special dessert or something to bring to a party. These recipes will give those individuals ideas of foods they can make and enjoy.
Unless specified, the recipes are sized for a HOTLOGIC® Mini.
Place – Zip – Plug
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.

- hot water kettle
- chef torch
