Crock-Pot 3850 Manual page 8

This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the slow cooker --- you own
favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food companies, newspapers
and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation time with fewer steps and dishes...
and to keep cooking simple. In most cases, all ingredients can go into your slow
cooker in the beginning and can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are
unnecessary when using the slow cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with cover on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember - liquids don't "boil away" as in conventional cooking. Usually
you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less.
• It's "one-step" cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add ingredients
to stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add any liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your even or un your
range. Therefore, everything can go into the slow cooker at one time. EXCEPTION:
milk, sour cream or cream should be added during last hour.
