Crock and Cover Precautions and Information

Please handle the Crock and Cover carefully to ensure long life.

Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot Cover or Crock into cold water, or onto a wet surface.

Avoid hitting Crock and Cover against the faucet or other hard surfaces.

Do not use Crock or Cover if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.

The bottom of the Crock is very rough and can damage the countertop. Use caution.

The Crock and the Cover can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

The Crock is microwave safe and oven proof, but never heat the Crock when empty. Never place the Crock on a burner or stove top. Do not place the Cover in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on the stove top.

If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker

Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional methods. Take a few minutes and read “How to Use Use Your Slow Cooker” and “Tips for Slow 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 avail- able in the library or book store. If you have any questions, call our toll-free customer service number. We’ll be glad to help.

If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before

You are probably ready to develop new recipes for use in your slow cooker. If the recipe was originally cooked in a saucepan on the stovetop, or slow roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe should be easy.

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.

Our slow 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 Recipes” for more information.
