The Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled for best
results.
If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2 inch space between
the top of the crock and the food so that the recipe can
come to a simmer. If cooking a soup or stew on high, keep
checking the progress as some soups will reach a boil
when cooked on high.
Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning
schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the
night before. Place all ingredients in the crock, cover and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place crock in
the Slow Cooker and select the temperature setting.
Meat and poultry require at least 7 to 8 hours on low. Do
not use frozen meat in the Slow Cooker. Thaw any meat or
poultry before slow cooking.
When removing the cover, tilt so that the opening faces
away from you to avoid getting burned by steam.
The sides of the base of the Slow Cooker get very warm
because the heating elements are located here. Use the
handles on the base if necessary. Use oven gloves to
remove the crock.
