4.When cooking on Hi setting, periodically remove the lid and stir ingredients for more even heating and cooking. Use Hi setting for shorter cooking times, and when you plan on being at home.

5.Use Auto setting for longer cooking times (7-8 hours), and when you will not be at home. On Auto, the Slow Cooker starts out on a high temperature, and then automatically reduces to a lower temperature after about 2 hours.

6.Longer cooking times tend to evaporate some of the liquid in recipes and if foods are allowed to cook too long, foods may tend to taste dry (like a pot roast allowed to cook more than 8 hours), and stick/burn onto the bottom of the Bowl.

7.Soups are a natural in a slow cooker. They can simmer away, blending flavors and tenderizing dried beans and meats. It may be necessary at times to add additional liquid (broth, milk, water) to thin soup or stew prior to serving.

8.To keep foods warm after cooking, turn control to Keep Warm setting. To avoid drying out foods, do not keep foods on this setting for more than 2 hours.

9.It is not recommended to reheat food in the slow cooker.

10.The Lid on the Stoneware Bowl does not have a tight fit. Spattering and condensation may be noted at times.

Recipe Tips

1.The recipes included here have been designed to work in this 6-quart slow cooker. Use them as a reference to adapt your own favorite soup, stew and chili recipes.

2.When adapting your own recipes, be sure to add enough liquid to keep foods moist. Foods cook best when submerged below liquid.

3.Roasts and hams up to 5 pounds can be cooked in the Slow Cooker. Do not cook whole poultry. Remember that foods cut into smaller pieces will cook faster than whole roasts.

4.Less tender cuts of meat are best suited for slow cooker preparation; they need longer cooking times and supply more moisture.

5.Skim off fat prior to serving sauces. Sauces can be thickened prior to serving if desired. Just transfer sauce to a saucepan and heat on range surface unit. Mix 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour with a little water and then add to sauce. Stir constantly until sauce thickens.
