USING YOUR SLOW COOKER – EVERYDAY USE
1. Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge.
2. Place foods into cooking pot, cover and place cooking pot onto heating base. If
you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place slow cooker
pot directly on range top unit over medium heat. After foods are browned or
cooked, transfer cooking pot to heating base. NOTE: Use only plastic, rubber,
wooden, or non-metal cooking tools in metal cooking pot. Use of metal cooking
tools will scratch the non-stick surface.
3. Attach cord to base, then plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
4. Slow cooker base offers heat settings of Keep Warm, LO, Med and HI, or will be
numbered 1-5. Heat setting #1 should only be used to warm dinner rolls,
muffins, etc. Heat setting Keep Warm (#2) should only be used to keep cooked
foods warm for serving, whereas LO (#3), Med (#4) and HI (#5) are to be used
for actual cooking of foods. Set dial directly at setting or anywhere between for
complete temperature control. NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEAT SETTING BELOW
LO (#3) FOR ACTUAL COOKING OF RAW FOODS AS THE SLOW COOKER
WILL NOT GET HOT ENOUGH TO COOK FOODS. DO NOT USE THE
GRIDDLE SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING AS OVER COOKING WILL
OCCUR.
Select heat setting and cook food for recommended time as given in recipe. As
a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 7 to 10 hours
of cooking at LO (#3), 4 to 6 hours of cooking at Med (#4) or 2 to 3 hours of
cooking at HI (#5). Meats will become most tender when cooked for the longer
time at the lower heat setting. Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as
cooking time will be increased due to loss of heat. Remove cover only when
needed to stir occasionally or when adding ingredients.
Do not strike utensils against pot or cover rim. Glass cover may shatter as a
result.
