Your mini warming pot is ideal for heating dips and sauces or melting butter and
chocolate.
NOTE: This unit is not for use with uncooked meats. Ensure food is fully cooked
before placing it in the mini warming pot. This unit is recommended for warming or

countertop.

and OFF when unplugged.
• During heating, occasionally stir the contents. Do not use your mini warming pot
for longer than 2 consecutive hours. Stir the contents often to ensure even

1. Allow the entire unit (heating base, ceramic cooking vessel and cover) to cool
before cleaning. Set ceramic cooking vessel and cover on dry, heat-protective
surface for gradual cooling.
Do not run cold water over hot ceramic cooking
vessel or cover, as they may crack if cooled suddenly.
2. Wipe the heating base and cord with a damp cloth after it has been unplugged
and the base is cool.
3. Ceramic cooking vessel and cover may be washed using warm soapy water by
hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. Avoid contact between pieces to prevent
damage.
4. Use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use
metal scouring pads or cleansers. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water
spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

• Stir foods occasionally to reduce sticking to sides of ceramic cooking vessel.
• Use only plastic, rubber, wooden or non-metal cooking tools with ceramic
cooking vessel. Use of metal cooking tools may scratch the ceramic cooking
vessel.
• Foods will be brought to a simmer at all cooking settings. The setting determines
the time needed to reach a simmer.
• If the ceramic cooking vessel is filled less then half full, suggested cooking times
should be reduced.
•
Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking than
expensive cuts of meat. Remove excess fat from meat when possible before
slow cooking. Remove skin from poultry, if desired, before cooking.
