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: 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.

If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker

Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional methods. Take a few minutes and read “How to Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.” Then try some of the recipes in the Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker Recipe Book included with your slow cooker.

You’ll soon be convinced that a slow cooker is a necessity. There are also many slow cooker recipe books avail- able in the library or book store. If you have any questions, call our toll-free customer service number. We’ll be glad to help.

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 Crock. Whether cooked on Low or High, the final temperature of the food is the same, about 200°F. The only difference is the amount of time the cooking process takes. Read the section on “Adapting Recipes” for more information.
