Setting the Controls
Step1: FILL
Make sure the slow cooker is assembled with the ceramic crock in place, that it is on a dry, level surface, and it is plugged into a suitable electrical outlet. (See page 4 for electrical requirements.)
To make
Fill the ceramic crock between ½ and ¾ full with ingredients. This meets food safety standards and ensures that your food will cook thoroughly. Spread the ingredients evenly across the bottom of the crock.
Here are a few tips regarding ingredients:
•REFRIGERATE perishable foods before placing them in a slow cooker.
•THAW any frozen ingredients, such as poultry and meats before placing them in the slow cooker.
•CUT large pieces of meat (such as roasts or whole poultry) into pieces and remove skin and excess fat to ensure thorough and even cooking.
•BROWN meats, including ground meats, before adding them to the slow cooker for additional flavor, if desired.
•LAYER foods according to how quickly they cook.
Meats cook more quickly than vegetables in a slow cooker. Layer vegetables first, then meat, and pour any cooking
liquids over top. | 7 |
