HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT
1. There are three temperature settings. LOW ( I ) is recommended for
slow "all-day" cooking. 1 hour on HIGH ( II ) equals about 2 to 2
hours on LOW ( I ). WARM (
cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until you are ready to
eat. DO NOT cook on this setting. NOTE: We do not recommend
using the WARM (symbol) setting for more than 4 hours.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a
recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens)
unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as
a "cushion" to prevent sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes
containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6 hours on LOW ( I ), or 2
hours on HIGH ( II ).
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your slow cooker.
7. Do not set heated base filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. The lid is
NOT ovenproof or microwave safe. Do not use removable stoneware
on gas or electric burners or under broiler.

REMOVABLE STONEWARE
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be
washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds
– a cloth, a sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner
(such as Bon-Ami ® Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock
of sudden temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put
in cold foods. Do not preheat slow cooker before using unless
specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature
before adding hot foods.
• To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not
pour in cold water if the stoneware is hot.
