HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT ® SLOW COOKER
1. There are three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow ”all-day”
cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 1 ⁄
2
hours on LOW . SERVE is for
keeping food warm only. DO NOT cook on SERVE setting.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.
However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens) unless you first
add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent
sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes containing frozen meats an
additional 4 to 6 hours on
LOW , or 2 hours on HIGH .
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot
® slow cooker.
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use stoneware
on gas or electric burners or under broiler.
PREPARE AHEAD CONVENIENCE!
Fill bowl and refreigerate. When ready to cook, set in electrical base and turn to
LOW or HIGH . Do not preheat electrical base.

hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, a sponge or
rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other
stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami
® Polishing Cleaner) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
