If You've NEVER Used a Slow Cooker
Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but
different from conventional methods.
Take a few minutes and read "How to
Use" and "Tips for Slow Cooking."
If You've Used a Slow Cooker Before
You are probably ready to develop new
recipes for use in your slow cooker. If
the recipe was originally cooked in a
saucepan on the stovetop, or slow
roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe
should be easy.

How to Use Your Slow Cooker

1. Before first use, wash the glass lid
and cooking vessel in hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry. Do not
immerse base in water.
2. Prepare recipe according to instruc-
tions. Place food in cooking vessel
and cover with glass lid.
NOTE: When planning to travel with
the slow cooker, make sure that the
clips are securely snapped in the
locked position prior to cooking.

You'll soon be convinced that a slow
cooker is a necessity. There are also
many slow cooker recipe books avail-
able in the library or book store. If you
have any questions, call our toll-free
customer service number. We'll be glad
to help.
Our slow cooker heats from the sides.
The base slowly raises the temperature
of the pan. Whether cooked on Low or
High, the final temperature of the food is
the same, about 200°F. The only differ-
ence is the amount of time the cooking
process takes.
3. Plug cord into outlet. Select a
temperature setting of Low or High
(not Keep Warm).
4. When finished, turn to Off
unplug base.
5. Let the cooking vessel and glass lid
cool before washing.
