SLOW COOKING
1. Insert slow cooker stoneware into the heating base, place your food into the stoneware, and plug
in the unit. Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. Your slow cooker has three
temperature settings. LOW (
I
) is recommended for slow “all-day” cooking. One hour on HIGH (
II
)
equals about 1
1
⁄
2
to 2 hours on LOW (
I
). WARM (
) (display on LCD=
) is ONLY for keeping
already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook
on the WARM (
) setting. Always cook with the lid on when using your stoneware in the slow
cooker heating base.
2. Turn the timer dial to the desired cooking time. The time displays in the panel and starts to count
down. The cooking time options range from 30 minutes up to 20 hours, in 30 minute intervals.
When the cooking time has completed, the slow cooker automatically shifts to the WARM (
)
setting.
NOTE:
We do not recommend using the WARM (
) setting for more than 4 hours.
NOTE:
If you do not set the timer, the slow cooker will run at the temperature setting you chose
until you turn it off .
3. When cooking is done, turn the temperature dial to OFF (
) and unplug the unit from the
outlet. Allow the slow cooker to cool before cleaning it.
ROASTING
The slow cooker stoneware can also be used as a traditional roasting pan in your oven.
USAGE NOTES
•
If there is a power outage, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the
power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
•
Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two
hours of cooking.
•
The removable slow cooker stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Refer to chart below.
•
Always use pot holders or oven gloves when handling the stoneware and when moving the slow
cooking base. The handles will become hot when in use.
•
ALWAYS use a trivet or hot pad underneath the heated stoneware, when placing on tables or
work surface tops.
•
Removable stoneware and lid are safe for use on hobs, in conventional and microwave ovens, as
well as in the refrigerator. NEVER freeze water or waterbased foods in the stoneware.
•
Due to the unique manufacturing process of the slow cooker stoneware, you may see variations
in the glazed surface. This is normal and does not affect performance.
•
Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
•
Do not reheat foods in your slow cooker. Use oven, hob, or microwave to reheat.
Always use the heat diffuser when cooking on an electric hob.
