You are probably ready to develop new
recipes for use in your slow cooker. If
the recipe was originally cooked in a
saucepan on the stovetop, or slow
roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe
should be easy.
The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been thor-
oughly cooked. Food should not be
reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If
food has been cooked and then refrig-
erated it must be reheated on Low or
High, then switched to Keep Warm.
Control Knob and Temperature Settings
CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking
the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm
setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

Our slow cooker heats from the sides.
The Base slowly raises the temperature
of the Crock. Whether cooked on Low
or High, the final temperature of the
food is the same, about 200°F. The
only difference is the amount of time
the cooking process takes. Read the
section on “Adapting Recipes” for more
information.
