How to Use Your Slow Cooker

1. Before first use, wash the glass lid
and cooking vessel in hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry. Do not
immerse base in water.
2. Prepare recipe according to instruc-
tions. Place food in cooking vessel
and cover with glass lid. Do not use
clips during cooking.
NOTE: When planning to travel with
the slow cooker, make sure that the
clips are securely snapped in the
locked position.
• The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thoroughly
cooked.
• Do not reheat food on the Keep Warm setting.
• If food has been cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on Low or High, then
switched to Keep Warm.
• Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using the Keep
Warm setting. Visit foodsafety.gov for more information.
Crock Capacity
How much does your slow cooker hold?
The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the cooking vessel can hold
if it is filled to the rim. However, in order to avoid food boiling over and spilling, we
DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield
1 quart less than the listed capacity of your cooking vessel. For example, if your
slow cooker is labeled as a 4-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved
using recipes that yield 3 quarts or less
