Preparing for Buffet Service

1. If food to be served has been previously prepared and then refrigerated, warm food uncovered in
its copper metal pot over medium heat on the stovetop. Add liquid and stir as needed.
2. When temperature of the food is suitable for serving, add food to the cooking pots, replace cooking
pots into the Triple Slow Cooker base.
3. Add serving spoons and glass lids to each cooking pot. Then turn each OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM
dial(s) to WARM.
NOTE:
The WARM setting is not suitable for reheating foods. WARM is ONLY for keeping already
cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

Hints for Slow Cooking

• After cooking and serving, these versatile copper metal pots can be used to store food in the
refrigerator, then reheat on a stovetop, in any oven, or in the base unit.
• High fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking or browning will help reduce the
amount of fat and help to preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed.
If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion slices or large cut vegetables under it so
that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat.
• Meats will not brown during the slow cooking process. If you desire browning, refer to BROWNING,
SEARING AND ROASTING section of this instruction manual.
NOTE: Dredging meat in flour before browning thickens the cooking liquid for a wonderful sauce.
IMPORTANT: Skim fat and season before serving. If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a
straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top of foods before serving.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid and place
copper metal cooking pot directly on the stovetop. Turn burner heat to medium-high and cook until
liquid is reduced. Season to taste after the reduction.
