If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before

You are probably ready to develop new recipes for use in your slow cooker. If the recipe was originally cooked in a saucepan on the stovetop, or slow roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe should be easy.

Our slow cooker heats from the sides. The base slowly raises the temperature of the pan. Whether cooked on Low or High, the final temperature of the food is the same, about 200°F. The only differ- ence is the amount of time the cooking process takes.

2.Prepare recipe according to instruc- tions. Place food in cooking vessel and cover with glass lid.

4.When finished, turn to Off ( O ) and unplug base.
