Fill the ceramic crock between ½ and 2/3 full with ingredients and cover with lid. 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. So, layer vegetables first, then meat, and pour any cooking liquids over top.

Step 2: SELECT COOKING MODE

Each time the slow cooker is powered on, you will

notice it displays a default setting of the High cooking

mode and six hours of cooking time. However, you

may adjust the settings to suit your specific cooking needs. The display will blink until the cooking

cycle begins.

To modify the cooking mode, press the Mode button to select between High, Low and Warm.

Most slow cooker recipes provide cooking times for either Low or High settings, so use these as your guide. Consider the following general tips for selecting a heat setting.

High – Use this setting when time is short and you need food done within a few hours. In general, one hour of cooking time on High is equal to two hours on the Low setting.

Low – Choose this setting when you want to place food in the slow cooker in the morning and serve dinner in the evening. Many main dish recipes cooked on the Low setting take eight to ten hours.
