cracked or scratched, do not use it. Discard
it and order a replacement.
ALWAYS

cause it to crack or shatter.

microwave oven.
HOW TO USE THE SLOW COOKER
A Slow Cooker is easy to use but it is
different from conventional cooking. This
booklet is intended to be used as a general
guideline and contains several suggestions
and helpful hints for successful slow cooking.
One of the benefits of slow cooking is that
meals can be prepared in advance and the
cooking time can be set so that the food is
ready to serve at the appropriate time.
There is an abundance of recipes specifically
designed for slow cooking that can be easily
found on the internet or in recipe books at
your local bookstore or library.

oven so long as it is not heated under a
broiler or top browning element.
NEVER
use the Glass Lid in any type of
oven. Both the Glass Lid and Ceramic
Casserole can be cleaned in a dishwasher
and also be used to store food in the
refrigerator or freezer.
