• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the
setting on your Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe
calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker to 8 hours.
• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware
½ to ¾
full to
conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain
cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
higher than
¾
full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove
the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up
efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT
®
SLOW COOKER
•
ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet,
and allow it to cool before cleaning.
•
The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot,
soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring
pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or
vinegar.
•
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand
sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with
cold water when they are hot.
•
The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and
warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
•
No other servicing should be performed.
