Fill the ceramic crock between ½ and
2
/
3 full with ingredients and cover with
lid. This meets food safety standards and ensures that your food will cook
thoroughly. Spread the ingredients evenly across the bottom of the crock.
Here are a few tips regarding ingredients:
• REFRIGERATE perishable foods before placing them in a slow cooker
• THAW any frozen ingredients, such as poultry and meats before placing
them in the slow cooker.
• CUT large pieces of meat (such as roasts or whole poultry) into pieces
and remove skin and excess fat to ensure thorough and even cooking.
• BROWN meats, including ground meats, before adding them to the slow
cooker for additional flavor, if desired.
• LAYERfoodsaccordingtohowquicklytheycook.Meatscookmore
quickly than vegetables in a slow cooker. So, layer vegetables first, then
meat, and pour any cooking liquids over top.
Step 2: SELECT COOKING MODE
Each time the slow cooker is powered on, you will
notice it displays a default setting of the High cooking
mode and six hours of cooking time. However, you
may adjust the settings to suit your specific cooking
needs. The display will blink until the cooking
cycle begins.
To modify the cooking mode, press the Mode button to select between
High, Low and Warm.
Most slow cooker recipes provide cooking times for either Low or High
settings, so use these as your guide. Consider the following general tips for
selecting a heat setting.
High – Use this setting when time is short and you need food done within
a few hours. In general, one hour of cooking time on High is equal to two
hours on the Low setting.
Low – Choose this setting when you want to place food in the slow cooker
in the morning and serve dinner in the evening. Many main dish recipes
cooked on the Low setting take eight to ten hours.
