• Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a

separate skillet or broiler and drain well before adding to cooker.) Season with salt
and pepper. Place meat in cooker on top of vegetables.

• For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than specified in

the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are retained in slow cooking than in
conventional cooking.

• Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the

stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than most vegetables in a slow cooker.

• Use whole leaf herbs and spices for the best and truest flavor for all-day cooking. 

If ground herbs and spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour 
of cooking.

• Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the stoneware at least half

full to conform to recommended times. Small quantities may be prepared, but
cooking time will be affected.

• A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is 

substituted. (Such as substituting a 10

• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acid foods

(

NOTE:

Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent

softening). Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding
to a recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring
to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1
