Using Roasting Rack
(if included)
Your slow cooker may include a small wire roasting rack for use in roasting meat and poultry. If a rack was not included with
your particular model, you may order one. See Warranty section for details.
To use rack, simply place into bottom of slow cooker pot and place roast, chicken or ham onto rack. Add a small amount of
liquid to pot before cooking. If you wish, the meat can be browned in cooking pot on top of range before roasting. After
browning, place rack beneath meat for roasting. See recipe instructions. The rack can also be used for steaming fresh
vegetables such as broccoli and corn-on-the-cob. Add 1 cup of water to cooking pot to steam vegetables. Cook on top of
range over medium to medium-low heat or on heating base at Setting #5(High) to desired doneness.
Using Electric Base With Other Utensils
The slow cooker base may be used as a warming and cooking unit for heatproof utensils other than the slow cooker pot, such as
a rectangular heatproof casserole dish.
DO NOT use plastic cooking or serving dishes on the base
. To ensure safe use make
certain dish rests securely on base before using it to cook or warm.
