Tips on Cooking with the Slow Cooker

9. CAUTION! When handling the Slow Cooker, always use oven mittens.

10.NOTE: When the Slow Cooker is plugged in, and its Temperature Control Knob

(3) is set to “Keep Warm”, “Low”, or “High”, the unit’s warming element will constantly be on. When finished cooking, make sure to turn the Temperature Control Knob to its “OFF” position and unplug the Power Cord from its electrical outlet.

11.When finished using the Slow Cooker, make sure to allow the appliance to completely cool. Then immerse the Inner Pot (4) and Lid (5) in warm, clean water and thoroughly wash with anti-bacterial soap. Then, dry. Also, wash the exterior surface of the Outer Shell (1) with a clean, damp cloth and anti-bacterial soap. Then, dry. DO NOT

IMMERSE THE OUTER SHELL IN ANY LIQUID.

12.Make sure to store the Slow Cooker in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children.

1.The Lid (5) of the Slow Cooker should be centered on the Inner Pot (4) for best results when cooking. Do not remove the Lid unecessarily, as this results in heat loss.

2.Stirring is not necessary when cooking on “Low”. However, when cooking on “High” you may want to stir occasionally.

3.Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of cooking time, remove the Lid (5). Turn the Temperature Control Knob (3) to its “High” setting, and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will take about 30 to 45 minutes.

4.The Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. Reduce cooking time if below half-filled.

5.If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2 inch distance between the top of the Inner Pot (4) and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.

6.Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do so the night before. Place all ingredients in the Inner Pot

(4). Cover the Inner Pot with its Lid (5), and refrigerate overnight. In the morn- ing, simply place the Inner Pot in the Outer Shell (1) of the Slow Cooker, and select the appropriate heat level.
