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 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved
using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less

Control Knob and Temperature Settings

The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the
recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep
Warm setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.
