Before Using Your Slow Cooker
•
Before using for the first time, wash the cover and the ceramic pot in hot,
soapy water.
•
Do not immerse metal housing in water or any other liquid.
•
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•
Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
Helpful Hints
•
Always cook with the cover on and the ceramic pot in position. Remember that
frequent lifting of the cover delays the cooking time.
•
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the meat in the
bottom of the ceramic pot.
•
Unplug the slow cooker when cooking is complete. Before cleaning, allow
to cool completely. The ceramic pot cannot withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes.
•
Do not use frozen meat or poultry in a slow cooker. Thaw any meat or
poultry before slow cooking..
Caution:
Be careful when adding additional liquids to ceramic pot.
Never add cold liquids as this might cause the ceramic pot to crack.
Always warm the liquids before adding.
Setting the Temperature
The slow cooker has been developed with a wrap-around side element concealed in
the unit. This element provides the low, even temperature that makes lengthy cooking
times possible. As a result of the wrap-around element, food will not stick to the base
of the ceramic pot despite the long cooking time and the need to stir food is almost
unnecessary. As food cooks just below boiling point, very little steam is given off and
there is next to no evaporation, all of which provides flavorful, tender and moist results,
even with budget cuts of meat.
LOW: The low heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time without
overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting. Ideal for
vegetable dishes and re-heating.
HI: The high heat setting is used when baking or cooking dried beans and will cook
food in half the time required for the low setting. as food will boil when cooked on the
high setting. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavor
distribution, food should be monitored when using the high setting, just like cooking in
a pot with the lid on.
KEEP WARM: The keep warm setting is for holding the
prepared recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
This setting should only be used after a recipe has
been thoroughly cooked. If food has been refrigerated,
it must be heated on low or high and then switched
to keep warm.
Warning:
DO NOT cook on keep warm setting.
