Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack the Triple Slow Cooker and remove all packaging materials. Included in the box are the 3
lid rests. Be sure to remove from the box while unpacking the unit.
2. Place your Triple Slow Cooker on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be sure the sides and back of
the Triple Slow Cooker are at least 4 inches away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.
3. Wipe the Triple Slow Cooker base with a clean, damp cloth or sponge, then dry with another cloth. This will
remove any dust that may have settled during packaging.
4. Insert the 3 lid rests into the insertion holes (see Figure 1). Check to make sure lid rests are securely attached.
5. It is necessary to operate the Triple Slow Cooker one time before placing food in the cooking pots. Pour 4
cups of water into each of the cooking pots. Then place each cooking pot inside the Triple Slow Cooker base.
Cover each cooking pot with a glass lid.
6. Plug the Triple Slow Cooker into a 120V AC outlet.
7. Turn each of the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM dials to HIGH and allow to heat for approximately 30 minutes.
You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
8. Turn each of the 3 OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM dials to the OFF position and unplug the Triple Slow Cooker. Allow
to cool for at least 20 minutes.
9. Wearing oven mitts, remove each of the 3 lids, then grasp each of the 3 cooking pots by the handles and
carefully lift and remove from the base; pour the water out of the cooking pots.
10. Wash all 3 removable cooking pots and lids in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
11. Reinsert the 3 removable cooking pots with lids into the Triple Slow Cooker base to store.

Operating Instructions
NOTE:
The 3 slow cooking stations work independently of one another. 1, 2 or 3 slow cookers may be used at
any given time.
1. Prepare recipe(s) according to instructions.
2. Place 1 to 3 cooking pot(s) into the base.
3. Add food to the cooking pot(s) and cover with glass lid(s).
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT FILL THE COOKING POT(S) MORE THAN 3/4 FULL WITH FOOD.
NOTE:
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the
cooking pot first. Then add the meat and other ingredients.
4. To ensure the efficient build up of heat, do not lift the lid(s) during the first 2 hours of cook time. Frequent
lifting of the lid(s) during cooking delays the cook time.
5. Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet.
6. Turn OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM dial to select temperature setting: LOW or HIGH.
7. Cook according to recipe instructions.
8. Depending on the food served, when the cooking time is complete, turn the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM dial(s)
to the LOW or WARM position and serve.
9. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid(s) by grasping the lid knob(s) and lifting the lid slightly
away from you. This will allow the steam to escape before removing the lid. Place the lids on the lid rests.
10. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape.
11. When serving is finished, turn all 3 of the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM dial(s) to the OFF position, and unplug
the Triple Slow Cooker.
12. Allow all 3 cooking pots to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION:
The filled Triple Slow Cooker can be very heavy. To avoid injury to persons or damage to the
appliance, always use the recessed side carry handles to transport the Triple Slow Cooker.
13. When cooking is done, carefully remove each of the glass lid(s) by grasping the lid knob(s). Using the
cooking pot handles, remove each cooking pot. Clean and prepare the Triple Slow Cooker base for storing.
Browning, Searing and Roasting
1.
Spice Rubs:
For a flavorful, seared crust, generously season meat or poultry with your favorite spice rub
before searing.
2. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable or peanut oil to the copper metal pot. (Do not use butter or olive oil
as they tend to burn at high temperatures.)
NOTE:
The amount of additional oil needed depends on the fattiness in the meat.
3. Remove any lid and its copper metal pot from the slow cooker base, and place it directly on the stovetop.
4. Turn burner heat to HIGH.
5. When the oil is shimmering hot, add meats to the copper metal pot, fat-side down; place poultry pieces
skin-side down. Sear meat for a few minutes until brown, then turn food until all surfaces are browned.
WARNING:
Use caution while searing. Use protective oven mitts. Keep hands and face away from the
copper metal pot’s opening. Avoid contact with hot oil as it may sputter and spit.
6. After all food is browned, it may be necessary to de-fat the cooking liquid. Use a slice of bread,
a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat prior to slow cooking.
7. If a spice rub is not needed, dredging meat in flour before browning thickens the cooking liquid
into a wonderful sauce.
8. Par roasting meats and vegetables can ensure flavorful slow cooked results. Place foods to be roasted
into any copper metal pot. Place uncovered pot(s) into a 425ºF preheated oven.
Turn foods as needed until browned and flavorful.
For best results
, always add recipe cooking liquid to the copper metal pot first. To ensure a flavorful
cooking liquid and to prevent future burning, use a plastic or wood spoon to loosen browned
flavorful bits and deglaze the copper metal pot.
WARNING:
To avoid scratching the copper metal pot coating, never use sharp utensils when stirring
foods in the copper metal pot.
