If You've NEVER Used a Slow Cooker

tional methods. Take a few minutes and read "How to Use"
and "Tips for Siow Cooking." Then try some of the recipes.
You'll soon be convinced that a slow cooker is a necessity.
There are also many slow cooker recipe books available in
the library or book store. If you have any questions, please
call our toil-free customer service number or check our web
site. We'll be glad to help.
If You've Used a Slow Cooker Before
This slow cooker is designed to bring ingredients up to cooking
temperature quickly. It may reach a full boil and cook faster
than other slow cookers you have used. Because the slow
cooker reaches its cooking temperature rapidly, older recipes
may need to be adjusted. Some recipes may now take less
cooking time.
You are probably ready to develop new recipes for use in your
slow cooker. Ifthe recipe was originally cooked in a saucepan
on the stovetop, or slow roasted in the oven, adapting the
recipe should be easy.
Our siow cooker heats from the sides. The Base slowly raises
the temperature of the Crock. Whether cooked on Low or
High, the final temperature of the food is the same, about
200°F. The only difference is the amount of time the cooking
process takes. Read the section on "Adapting Rdcipes" for
more information.
