CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.

• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not

place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet surface.

• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.

• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.

REMOVING LID AND CROCK

When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

• The bottom of crock is very rough and can damage countertop. Use caution.

• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place lid in a microwave oven or conventional oven.

The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove crock.

cooker crock.

NOTES:

• If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than the recipe states.

• Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using Keep Warm setting. The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Do not reheat food on Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on Low or High; then switch to Keep Warm.

3. Place lid on slow cooker. 4. Turn control knob clockwise to KEEP WARM, LOW, or HIGH. Set a kitchen timer according to the recipe.

DISHWASHER-SAFE

4. DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product.

How to Use Lid Latch

1. Place latch into groove under one handle. Stretch to other side and secure in groove under other handle.

2. Once attached, latch can also be crossed over knob to further secure lid.

(optional feature on select models)

The Lid Latch™ helps secure lid while moving, transporting, or storing slow cooker.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only halffilled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.

• 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 crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place the crock in the slow cooker.

• When choosing recipes for this slow cooker, look for recipes that call for cooking on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or LOW 6 to 8 hours. Recipes calling for less cooking time should be checked periodically for doneness.

Food Safety Tips

• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.

• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.

• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.

• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.

• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.

• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the crock.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5.1-cm) space between the top of the crock and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.

• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the crock, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before, where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).

• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.

Cooking Chart

For best results, fill the crock at least half-full but no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from lid. Always follow package directions.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Food is undercooked. • Was food cooked on the KEEP WARM setting? Do not cook on KEEP WARM. Only cook on LOW or

HIGH setting.

• Was power interrupted?

• Did you select the LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the HIGH heat setting?

• Crock was overfilled. For best results, fill crock no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the lid.

• Lid was not placed correctly. Check to make sure lid is seated properly on the crock.

My meal was overcooked. Why?

The food isn’t done after cooking the amount of time recommended in my recipe.

Lid gasket collapsed. • This can be caused by sudden temperature change, like running cold water over a warm lid. Allow lid

• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached. Check food when cooking time has been reached.

• Did you select the HIGH heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the LOW heat setting?

• Crock was less than half full. Check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.

• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, it can alter the cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.

to sit at room temperature. It will return to the original shape within 24 hours.

• To help maintain the shape of the gasket, do not cook with clips latched and do not store empty unit with clips latched.
