HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
USAGE NOTES:
• If you suspect that the power has gone out, the food inside
may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the
power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the mid-range
time. For example, for a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7
to 9 hours on LOW, cook for 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware 1/2
to 3/4 full and conform to recommended cook times.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill
stoneware higher than 3/4 full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not
remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to allow
the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not
use removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under
broiler. Refer to chart below.
Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components
and wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy water and dry
thoroughly.
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your
ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with the lid
(See Fig. 1).
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker and select the temperature
setting. Refer to your specific recipe for precise cook times.
NOTE: Some models feature a WARM setting. WARM is ONLY
for keeping already cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the
WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting
for more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to
cool before cleaning.
