Capacity

How much does your

slow cooker hold?

The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the cooking vessel can hold if it is filled to the rim. However, in order to avoid food boiling over and spilling, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the listed capacity of your cooking vessel.

For example, if your slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less.

Control Knob and Temperature Settings

The Control Knob on the slow cooker offers Low and High temperature settings for cooking. The Keep Warm setting is for holding the prepared recipe at a perfect serving temperature.

The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thor- oughly cooked. Food should not be reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrig- erated it must be reheated on Low or High, then switched to Keep Warm.

CAUTION

Health Hazard

The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.
