Crock Capacity
How much does your
slow cooker hold?
The capacity of your slow cooker
refers to the amount the crock can
hold if it is filled to the rim. However,
we DO NOT recommend filling to the
rim. As a rule, you should select
recipes that yield 1 quart less than
the listed capacity of your crock.
For example, if your slow cooker is
labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker,
your best results will be achieved
using recipes that yield 5 quarts or
less
.
Control Knob and Temperature Settings
CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking
the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm
setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.
The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been thor-
oughly cooked. Food should not be
reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If
food has been cooked and then refrig-
erated it must be reheated on Low or
High, then switched to Keep Warm.
