Cooking Modes

No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ’N Forget® slow cooker has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here is how to choose the one that is right for your lifestyle and the food you’re cooking.

Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?

Use PROGRAM Mode. Input preferred amount of cooking time and the slow cooker automatically shifts to WARM at the end of the selected cooking time. Food won’t overcook!

Are you cooking a large cut of meat or using a recipe that requires food to reach a certain temperature?

Use PROBE Mode. For many foods, especially large cuts of meat like roasts, chicken, turkey, and pork, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe with this slow cooker takes the guesswork out of slow cooking. Select the desired internal food temperature and the slow cooker will automatically shift to WARM once the temperature is reached. By using the Cooking Guide for Probe, you can estimate the amount of time the food will need to cook. Visit foodsafety.gov for more information about cooking times.

Do you want to cook the traditional way without setting a time?

— OR —

Do you want to heat previously cooked food?

Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select traditional HIGH or LOW settings.

Do you want to keep previously cooked food warm?
