Introduction To Slow Cooking

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around 200˚F. The Slow
Cooker can operate at Low all day or night if required. When cooking
on a High setting, it is very much like a covered pot on the stove top.
Foods will cook on High in about half the time required for Low
cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods do boil on High.
To turn the Slow Cooker Off, turn the Control Knob to the OFF
position. Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on LOW setting.
How To Use The Auto Feature
The Auto Feature allows you to prepare meals in less time than it
would take on Low, but not as quickly as on High. When set on Auto,
the Slow Cooker begins cooking on High. Once the High
temperature is reached, it then automatically switches to the Low
setting. When using the Auto temperature setting, you are able to
initially heat the food faster, shortening the cooking time required for
Low by approximately 25%.
