Cooking Modes

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

Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?

Use the PROGRAM Mode.

Input your preferred amount of cooking time and the slow cooker automatically shifts to Keep Warm at the end of the selected cooking time. Food won’t overcook!

Do you want to cook the tradi- tional way without setting a time?

— OR —

Have you cooked a recipe on the stovetop or in the oven and wish to keep the food warm?

Use the MANUAL Mode.

Lets you select traditional High, Low and Keep Warm settings.

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

Use the 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 tempera- ture probe with this slow cooker takes the guesswork out of slow cooking. You select the desired internal food temperature and the slow cooker will automatically shift to keep warm once the temperature is reached. So you don’t have to worry about overcooked or undercooked food making its way to your table. By using the Cooking Guide on page 7, you can estimate the amount of time the food will

need to cook.
