Removing Cover, Bowls, and Crock
When removing the cover, tilt so that
the opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the base of the slow
cooker get very warm because
the heating elements are located
here. Use the handles on the base
if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove
the bowls and the crock.
Double Dish Bowls
The Double Dish Bowls offer two different cooking methods: the conventional
slow cook method or the faster, "bowls in the crock" method, as well as letting
you cook two different recipes at the same time
Using the Double Dish Bowls with water in the crock works like a conventional
slow cooker. However, cooking with the Double Dish Bowls in the base is very
different. This is a much faster cooking method and nothing like the conventional
slow cooker. This faster method should be used when time is a factor or with
recipes such as soups or stews.
