SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this

product. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting

from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁ t into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁ t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁ t, contact a qualiﬁ ed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug ﬁ ts loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a ﬁ nished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.

NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

NOTE: Please use caution when placing your One PotTM stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the One PotTM stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before setting on table or countertop.

SAUTÉING

1. Place the One PotTM stoneware onto one of the large burners on the stovetop.

IMPORTANT: When using the One PotTM stoneware directly on an electric stovetop (coil or ceramic), the heat diffuser (included) must be used. Place the heat diffuser onto one of the large burners and position the One PotTM stoneware on top of the heat diffuser.

One PotTM Stoneware

2. Coat the inside of the One PotTM stoneware with oil or butter and place food into the One PotTM stoneware. DO NOT heat empty One PotTM stoneware on the stovetop. Always ensure there is liquid or food inside the One PotTM stoneware when heating.

3. Set the stove temperature to LOW before increasing to MEDIUM. Turn down heat as necessary to avoid overcooking. DO NOT use your One PotTM stoneware on the HIGH setting on stovetop burners.

4. Stir food in the One PotTM stoneware often, when cooking on the stovetop.

DO NOT use metal utensils, because they will scratch the One PotTM stoneware.

SLOW COOKING

1. Insert stoneware into the heating base, place your food into the stoneware, and plug in the unit.

2. Slide the control to the desired setting. Your One PotTM slow cooker has three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow “all-day” cooking. One hour on HIGH equals about 1½ to 2 hours on LOW. WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

3. When cooking is done, slide control to OFF. Unplug from outlet and allow it to cool before cleaning.

ROASTING/BROILING

The One Pot

stoneware can also be used as a traditional roasting pan

in your oven.

USAGE NOTES

• If there is a power outage, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, discard the food inside.

• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the ﬁ rst two hours of cooking.

• The removable One PotTM stoneware is refrigerator, stovetop, oven and microwave safe. NEVER freeze water or water-based foods in the One PotTM stoneware.

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling the One PotTM stoneware and lid, as well as when moving the heating base. The handles will become hot when in use.

• ALWAYS use a trivet or hot pad underneath the heated One PotTM stoneware when placing on tables or countertops.

• Due to the unique manufacturing process of the One PotTM stoneware, you may see variations in the glazed surface. This is normal and does not affect performance.

• Turn unit off and unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.

• To avoid over or undercooking, always ﬁ ll the One PotTM stoneware ½

full and conform to the recommended cook times. To prevent

spillover do not ﬁ ll One PotTM stoneware higher than

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ONE POTTM SLOW COOKER

• ALWAYS turn off your slow cooker, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

• The lid will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the lid with cold water when it is hot.

• The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and WARM, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.

• No other servicing should be performed.

HINTS AND TIPS

PASTA AND RICE

• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as the recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.

• For best pasta results, ﬁ rst partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until just tender. Add the pasta to the One Pot™ slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cook time.

BEANS

• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening.

• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.

• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.

VEGETABLES

• Many vegetables beneﬁ t from slow cooking and are able to develop their full ﬂ avor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your stovetop.

• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in slow cooker before meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat in the slow cooker.

• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to facilitate cooking.

HERBS AND SPICES

• Fresh herbs add ﬂ avor and color, but should be added at the end of the cooking cycle as the ﬂ avor will dissipate over long cook times.

• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may be added at the beginning.

• The ﬂ avor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on their particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end of cook cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.

7 8

MILK

• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.

• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.

SOUPS

• Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup ingredients to the slow cooker ﬁ rst then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.

MEATS

• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.

• Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of ﬂ avor.

• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without touching the lid.

• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the stoneware is always ½ to ¾ full.

• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates and can vary depending upon the speciﬁ c cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required cook times.

• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, eggplant, or ﬁ nely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.

• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must ﬁ rst be added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to defrost and tenderize.

Classic One Pot™ Slow Cooker Dishes

FISH

• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during last ﬁ fteen minutes to hour of cooking.

LIQUID

• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.

• Ensure the stoneware is always ﬁ lled a minimum of ½ full and a maximum of ¾ full, and conform to recommended cook times.

Signature Chili

Add corn, substitute turkey for ground beef, or omit meat as desired. For additional heat, add a couple of chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

Olive oil 3 pounds hamburger 1 12-ounce can beef broth 1 teaspoon oregano 3 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 5 cloves garlic 2 12-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed 2 12-ounce cans of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed 5 dashes hot sauce 2 28-ounce cans crushed Italian tomatoes 1 12-ounce can of tomato paste 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 red pepper, diced 1 green pepper, seeded and diced 2 Serrano chili peppers, minced 1 long red pepper, diced
