PRECAUTIONS

■Do not use stoneware liner to store food in the refrigerator, and

then reheat in the base unit. The sudden temperature change may

crack the liner.

■Please handle the stoneware liner and glass lid carefully to ensure

long life.

■Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes. For example, do

not place a hot glass lid or stoneware liner into cold water or onto

a wet surface.

■Avoid hitting the stoneware liner and glass lid against the faucet

or other hard surfaces.

■Do not use stoneware liner or glass lid if chipped, cracked or

severely scratched.

■Always unplug the unit from the electrical wall outlet when not

in use and before cleaning.

Hints for Slow Cooking

■When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not

boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the

amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow

Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups.

Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if

necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the

cooking time, remove the lid and turn the control dial to HIGH.

After about 30-45 minutes, the amount of liquid should be less.

■Meats will not brown during the slow cooking process. Brown

meats using a small amount of oil in very hot skillet. Stir as each

side of the meat browns. Place browned meats into the stoneware

liner for use in slow cooking recipes.

■High fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking

or browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help to

preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid

needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion

slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If

necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to

skim off excess fat from the top of foods before serving.

■Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly

than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.

■Whole herbs and splices flavor better in slow cooking than

crushed or ground.
