Adapting Recipes

Some ingredients are not suited for extended cooking in the slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for the slow cooker.

Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook. The water and fat content of a food, the temperature of the food, and the size of the food will all affect the cooking time. Food cut into pieces will cook faster than whole roasts or poultry.

Most meat and vegetable combinations require at least 7 hours on Low.

The higher the fat content of the meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath, so the meat will not sit and cook in the fat.

Slow cookers allow very little evapora- tion. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid or water called for in the original recipe. If too thick, liquids can be added later.

If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the Crock.

Care and Cleaning

1.Press the OFF button to turn unit 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.

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

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse Base in water.

Optional Feature on Selected Models

The Lid Latch secures the cover while moving, transporting, or storing the slow cooker. To use Lid Latch, place the white band into the groove located under one of the handles. Stretch the band to the other side of the slow cooker and secure it in the groove under the other handle.

Once the band is attached, it can also be crossed over the knob to further secure the lid.
