Food Safety Hazard.
Food must be hot
enough to prevent bacterial growth before using Keep
Warm setting. The Keep Warm setting should only be
used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Do not
reheat food on Keep Warm setting. If food has been
cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on Low or High
and then switch to Keep Warm. Visit
foodsafety.gov

WARNING
FOOD SAFETY TIPS:
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow
cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow
cooking.
• Visit
www.foodsafety.gov
for more information
on safe internal cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the
entire crock in the refrigerator since contents will
take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers
into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at
room temperature in the slow cooker. Once meat
is placed into the crock, it should be cooked
immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the
night before, where crock should be placed into
the refrigerator).
