Advantages of Slow Cooking
• Turn your slow cooker on in the morning and come home to a
complete hot and tasty meal.
• Do to the amount of cooking time you will find that less expensive
cuts of meat are tenderized and practically fall off the bone.
• The various flavors of your ingredients will incorporate into each
other due to the length of time that they are slowly cooked.
• Foods will not burn after a full day of cooking since the heat source
comes from the sides and not the bottom.
• The slow cooker frees your oven and stove top for other uses, and
should always be considered as an option for large gatherings or
holiday meals.
• Use your slow cooker as a buffet server to keep food warm such as
chili’s, soups, chicken wings, meatballs, etc.
Before Your First Use
Carefully unpack the slow cooker and remove all packaging
materials. Wash the removable ceramic pot and tempered glass lid in
warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. To remove any dust that may
have accumulated during packaging, wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth. When cleaning the slow cooker, always ensure that the unit
is not plugged in. Caution: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or
plug in water.
Important: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of
the appliance.
