Care of Stoneware, Hints | Rival 3670, 3950, 3164, 3355, 3145, 3140

remove the residue. If necessary, a plastic cleaning pad may be used. Use a non- abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami®Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar to remove water spots and other stains.

CARE OF STONEWARE

As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock of sudden temperature changes.

•If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put in cold foods. Do not preheat Crock-Pot®slow cooker before using unless specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature before adding hot foods.

•To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not pour in cold water if the stoneware is hot.

HINTS

•Trim fats and wipe meats well to remove residue. (If meats contain fats, brown in a separate skillet or broiler and drain well before adding to cooker.) Season with salt and pepper. Place meat in cooker on top of vegetables.

•For roasts and stews, pour liquid over meat. Use no more liquid than specified in the recipe. More juices in meats and vegetables are retained in slow cooking than in conventional cooking.

•Most vegetables should be thinly sliced or placed near the sides or bottom of the stoneware. Meats generally cook faster than most vegetables in a slow cooker.

•Use whole leaf herbs and spices for best and truest flavor for all-day cooking. If ground herbs and spices are used, they should be stirred in during the last hour.

•Because there is no direct heat at the bottom, always fill the stoneware at least half full to conform to recommended times. Small quantities may be prepared, but cooking time will be effected.

•A specific liquid called for in a recipe may be varied if an equal quantity is substituted. (Such as substituting a 10 3⁄4 ounce can of soup plus 4 ounces of water for a 14 1⁄2 ounce can of tomatoes OR 1⁄2 cup beef or chicken broth for 1⁄2 cup of wine.)

•Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acid foods (NOTE: Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening). Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1 1⁄2 hours or until beans are tender. Soaking in water, if desired, should be completed before boiling. Discard water after soaking or boiling.
