Party Crock™ Cookset Tips

•The stoneware dish should be at least half-filled for best results. If less than half-filled, check for doneness 30 minutes to one hour earlier than called for in the recipe.

•Removing the cover when cooking results in major heat loss and the cook- ing time may need to be extended.

•If your schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in the stoneware dish, cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. When you’re ready to cook, simply place the stoneware dish on the electric cooking base.

•Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should only be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for the cookset.

•When cooking cheese, high-sugar content or chocolate-based recipes, use the MEDIUM heat setting and stir frequently to prevent burning.

•If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, be sure there is liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the stoneware dish.

•Defrost frozen foods, meats or poultry before cooking in the Party Crock to ensure the food reaches a proper temperature quickly. Visit the web site foodsafety.gov for food safety guide- lines.

•If cooking larger cuts of meat or poultry, brown or sear before cooking in the Party Crock.
