from the hot steam.
• To save time, fill the stoneware liner the night before and refrigerate. You may need to add some
extra cooking time because the food and stoneware liner are cold.
• To store the stoneware liner or to place in the refrigerator, invert the lid. It is easy to use the small
lid handle on the bottom of the lid, making it handy to remove and turn over.
Important: If there is a power outage, the slow cooker will turn off. If this is discovered
quickly, continue cooking when the power is restored. If you are not sure how long the
slow cooker has not been functioning, discard the food.
HINTS ON INGREDIENTS IN THE SLOW COOKER:
DAIRY
• Milk products, especially those low in fat, tend to curdle if cooked too long; add them toward the
end of the cooking time.
• Evaporated milk and condensed soups are great substitutes for milk and cream.
SOUPS AND STEWS
• Because there is little evaporation, soups and stews require less liquid than usual.
• If too thick, add additional liquid in last ½ hour of cooking or at serving time.
• Condensed soups and dry soup mixes add great flavor and body to sauces.
MEATS
• The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. Also, place thickly sliced onions under fattier meat
to keep it above the drippings.
• Browning before cooking in the slow cooker is not necessary; however, browning meats, lightly
coated in flour gives more body and flavor to sauces. This works for ground meat as well.
• Make sure top of meat does not touch the lid.
• Cooking times are an estimate and will vary depending upon the size of the meat, the bones and
the cut.
• Meat with bone in will take longer to cook.
• Lean meats and poultry will cook faster.
• Meats slow cooked in liquids develop great flavor with a minimum of effort.
• Use HIGH for more tender cuts of meat; use LOW for tougher cuts.
VEGETABLES
• Place vegetables below or on the sides; they usually take longer to cook than the meat.
• Vegetables cook well; they develop better flavor and don’t break down as they would in your oven.
FISH
• Fish cooks quickly; add it for the last 15 minutes.
BEANS
• Do not add dried beans to the slow cooker; cook them first.
• Canned beans are the perfect substitute for dried beans.
SEASONINGS
• Fresh herbs should be added at the end of the cooking cycle. If cooked too long they lose their color
and flavor.
• Dried herbs work well in the slow cooker and can be added at the beginning. They can become
stronger on longer cooking; begin with less and add at end, if needed.
• Some spices and dried herbs, such as cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and whole peppercorns can
become quite intense with long cooking, so use sparingly.
• If using bay leaves, remember to remove before serving.
CARE AND CLEANING
CARING FOR YOUR SLOW COOKER
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place the hot glass lid or
stoneware liner into cold water or onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting the stoneware liner or glass lid against the faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use stoneware liner or glass lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
• This slow cooker requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts.
• Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be
performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
CLEANING YOUR SLOW COOKER
Caution: Never immerse cooking base or cord in water or other liquids.
1. Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to the stoneware liner,
