The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the cooking vessel can hold if it is filled to the rim. However, in order to avoid food boiling over and spilling, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the listed capacity of your cooking vessel. For example, if your slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less. LOW HIGH KEEPWARM OFF Control Knob and Temperature Settings 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 thoroughly cooked. Food should not be reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated on Low or High, then switched to Keep Warm. CAUTION Health Hazard 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. 3 840126500 Ev03 7/6/04 3:27 PM Page 4 If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but You’ll soon be convinced that a slow different from conventional methods. cooker is a necessity.

If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before 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. Our slow cooker heats from the sides. The base slowly raises the temperature of the pan. 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. How to Use Your Slow Cooker 1. Before first use, wash the glass lid, plastic lid and cooking vessel in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not immerse base in water. 2. Prepare recipe according to instructions. Place food in cooking vessel and cover with glass lid. 3. Plug cord into outlet. Select temperature setting. 4. When finished, turn to Off ( O ) and unplug base. 5. Let the cooking vessel and glass lid cool before washing. 4 840126500 Ev03 7/6/04 3:27 PM Page 5 Tips for Slow Cooking • The cover of the slow cooker does not form a tight fit on the cooking vessel but should be centered on the cooking vessel for best results. Do not remove the glass lid unnecessarily—this results in major heat loss. Do not cook without glass lid in place. • Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir occasionally. • Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in foods. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid, turn the control knob to High, and reduce the liquid by simmering. This will take 30 to 45 minutes. • The slow cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. • If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the cooking vessel and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer. • Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in the cooking vessel, cover with plastic lid and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply replace plastic lid with glass lid and place cooking vessel in the slow cooker. Select the temperature setting. • Meat and poultry require at least 7 to 8 hours on Low. Do not use frozen meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
