MyTime
1. Recipes with recommended cooking times of less than 4-6 hours should be
prepared in manual mode.
2. Recipes with long cook times (10+ hours) that are shortened to 6 Hours will
be fully cooked, but results in texture could vary.
3. Battery life expectancy is up to 3 years. The clock uses a UL Recognized
Lithium cell battery type (#CR2025, 3V), and the instruction book section
contains images and instructions on how to change the battery.

Pasta and Rice

• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as the
recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time,
add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue
cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water
until just tender. Add the pasta to your Crock-Pot® slow cooker during the
last 30 minutes of cook time.

Beans

• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/
or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will
prevent softening.
• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to
a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.

Vegetables

• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full
flavor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your
oven or on your stovetop.
