Tips for Slow Cooking

The Cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight fit on the Crock but should be centered on the Crock for best results. Do not remove the Cover unnecessarily— this results in major heat loss. Do not cook without Cover in place.

Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir occasionally.

Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the Cover, turn the Control Knob to High, and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will take 30 to 45 minutes.

The slow cooker should be at least half-filledfor best results. If only half- filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.

If cooking soups or stews, leave a

2-inch space between the top of the Crock and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.

Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in the Crock, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place Crock

in the slow cooker and select the temperature setting.

Meat and poultry require at least 7 to 8 hours on Low. Do not use frozen uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.

Care and Cleaning

1.Turn the Control Knob to Off. Unplug cord from outlet.

2.Remove Crock and Cover from Base and let cool.

3.Wash the Crock and the Cover in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. The Crock and the Cover may also be washed in the dishwasher. If you

have a plastic Cover, please place on top rack of dishwasher.

4.Wipe the Base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

WARNING

To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse.
