Recipe Tips
1. The recipes included here have been designed to work in this 6-quart
slow cooker. Use them as a reference to adapt your own favorite soup,
stew and chili recipes.
2. When adapting your own recipes, be sure to add enough liquid to keep
foods moist. Foods cook best when submerged below liquid.
3. Roasts and hams up to 5 pounds can be cooked in the Slow Cooker.
Do not cook whole poultry. Remember that foods cut into smaller
pieces will cook faster than whole roasts.
4. Less tender cuts of meat are best suited for slow cooker preparation;
they need longer cooking times and supply more moisture.
5. Skim off fat prior to serving sauces. Sauces can be thickened prior to
serving if desired. Just transfer sauce to a saucepan and heat on range
surface unit. Mix 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour with a little water
and then add to sauce. Stir constantly until sauce thickens.
14. When cooking on Hi setting, periodically remove the lid and stir
ingredients for more even heating and cooking. Use Hi setting for
shorter cooking times, and when you plan on being at home.
15. Use Auto setting for longer cooking times (7-8 hours), and when you
will not be at home. On Auto, the Slow Cooker starts out on a high
temperature, and then automatically reduces to a lower temperature
after about 2 hours.
16. Longer cooking times tend to evaporate some of the liquid in recipes
and if foods are allowed to cook too long, foods may tend to taste dry
(like a pot roast allowed to cook more than 8 hours), and stick/burn
onto the bottom of the Bowl.
17. Soups are a natural in a slow cooker. They can simmer away, blending
flavors and tenderizing dried beans and meats. It may be necessary at
times to add additional liquid (broth, milk, water) to thin soup or stew
prior to serving.
18. To keep foods warm after cooking, turn control to Keep Warm setting.
To avoid drying out foods, do not keep foods on this setting for more
than 2 hours.
19. It is not recommended to reheat food in the slow cooker.
10. The Lid on the Stoneware Bowl does not have a tight fit. Spattering
and condensation may be noted at times.
