USING YOUR PROGRAMMABLE
SLOW COOKER
Your favorite traditional recipes can be
easily adapted to slow cooking by cutting
in half the amount of liquid and
increasing the cooking time considerably.
See the guide below for suggested
cooking times and settings when
adjusting your favorite recipes.
1. Prepare your recipe according to
directions.
2. Place prepared food into the
removable ceramic pot and cover
with the glass lid.
3. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet
and set the time and desired
temperature setting. It is not
necessary to stir the ingredients
during the cooking process.
4. Cooking times may differ by the
amount of ingredients, room
temperature and many other factors.
Adjust the cooking time in reference
to the actual result.
5. Repeatedly removing the glass lid
will decrease the temperature in the
ceramic pot and lengthen the
cooking times.
6. Certain dishes may not cook if the
room temperature is below 41°F or
5°C.
7. When finished, press the "Stop"
button and unplug the unit. You can
serve the meal in the ceramic pot.
8. When removing the glass lid, tilt so
that the opening faces away from
you to avoid being burned by the
steam. Note: The glass lid and the
ceramic pot are hot. Use a cloth or
pot holder to hold them. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
9. The sides of the metal housing of the
slow cooker get very warm. Use
oven mitts or pot holders to remove
the ceramic pot.
10.Let ceramic pot and glass lid cool
completely before washing.
Traditional Recipe
Time
Slow Cooker
Recipe Time
15-30 minutes
4-6 hours on
LOW
60 minutes
6-8 hours on
LOW
1-3 hours
8-12 hours on
LOW
Note: These times are approximate.
Times can vary depending on
ingredients and quantities in recipes.
All food should be cooked with the glass
lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,
both the heat and moisture in the food
are lost. Extend cooking times if you lift
the lid by approximately 30 minutes.
LIQUID AMOUNTS
When food is cooking in your slow
cooker, very little moisture boils away.
To compensate, cut the liquid content of
traditional recipes in half. If after
cooking, the liquid content is excessive,
remove the lid and operate the slow
cooker on the high setting for 30-45
minutes or until the liquid reduces by the
desired amount.
Always allow sufficient time for the food to
cook. It is almost impossible to overcook food
in a slow cooker, particularly when using the
low or keep warm settings. Most recipes
contained within this book can be cooked on
any one of the temperature settings, but
cooking times will vary accordingly. Each
recipe in this book will give specific
instructions indicating the appropriate
temperature setting as well as the suggested
cooking times.
