SLOW COOKER FOR USE
HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your
ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with the lid.
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot slow cooker and select the temperature setting
from the three setting options. Low is recommended for slow "all-day"
cooking. One hour on HIGH is equivalent to approximately 1½ to 2 hours
on LOW. Refer to your specific recipe for more precise cook times. NOTE:
Some models feature a WARM setting. WARM 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. NOTE: We do not recommend using
the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
USAGE NOTES:
• If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the food may be
unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we
suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the setting
on your slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time
of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your slow cooker to 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to
conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain cakes
and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware higher
than ¾ full.
• Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not remove the
lid during the first two hours of cooking.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
