12.  Slow cooked food can be served directly from the Programmable Slow Cooker, 

 

if desired.

 NOTE:

 When serving from the Programmable Slow Cooker, always place a trivet 

 

or protective padding under the slow cooker body before placing it on a table 

 

or countertop.

13. 

CAUTION: 

If serving directly from the aluminum pot, ALWAYS wear protective 

 

oven mitts to remove the aluminum pot from the slow cooker body as the 

 

aluminum pot and aluminum pot handles will be very hot. Handle with care.

HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING

•  Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than 

  more expensive varieties.

•  Always brown fatty meats to reduce the amount of fat and to help preserve 

  color while adding rich flavor. Remove the aluminum pot from the slow cooker 

  body and place directly onto the stovetop. Heat a small amount of oil in the 

  aluminum pot and brown meats over high heat. Use a slice of bread, a spoon, 

  or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat prior to slow cooking.

•  Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.

•  When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like 

  they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe 

  that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice 

 

and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary.

•  If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the 

  aluminum pot from the slow cooker body. Skim any excess fat and boil the 

  sauce on the stovetop until it thickens and the desired consistency is achieved.

•  Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left 

  whole such as roast or poultry.

•  Always use a meat thermometer to determine if meats have been cooked to 

  proper temperature.

•  Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer 

  cooking time than many meats. Place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker 

 

and cover with liquid. Check to see they are fork- tender when meat temperature 

  is reached. Remove meat and continue cooking vegetables if necessary.

•  Add fresh dairy products (milk, sour cream or yogurt) prior to serving. Evaporated 

  milk or condensed creamed soups may be added at the start of cooking.

•  Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook 

  and serve separately or add to the Slow Cooker during the final 30 minutes of 

 cooking.
