DISHWASHER-SAFE
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting
when washing in the dishwasher.
“SANI” cycle temperatures could
damage your product.
To prevent lingering food smells,
found in most plastic containers,
clean rubber lid gasket with hot,
soapy water after each use. Store
with lid ajar.
Slow Cooking Tips
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking and removing glass
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 the removable stoneware crock, cover
with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place
the removable stoneware crock in slow cooker.
• 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.
Food Safety Tips
• 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 removable
stoneware crock.
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire removable
stoneware crock in the refrigerator since contents will take too long
to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place
into refrigerator.
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the removable
stoneware crock, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping
slow cooker the night before, where crock should be placed into the
refrigerator).
IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:
The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking
for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your

2 teaspoons (10 ml) seasoned salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) cracked black pepper

Beef Pot Roast
Ingredients:
3- to 4-pound (1.4 to 1.8 kg) chuck pot roast
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
1/4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) pepper
3 to 4 medium potatoes, quartered
3 to 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
2 medium onions, quartered

TEST KITCHEN TIP: Half of a 1-lb. (454 kg) bag of baby carrots
can be used instead of 3–4 medium carrots. A long cooking time
in moist heat will tenderize a tougher cut of meat. Therefore,
using a lower-priced cut, such as chuck, is economical as well as
delicious.

HIGH heat settings.
• Was the crock filled to the 6-quart or 4-quart line and set to cook for 2 quarts? Choose the setting to
match the quantity of food in crock.
• Did you select the LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the HIGH heat setting?
• Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
• 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, they can alter
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.
• Was the crock filled to the 2-quart or 4-quart line and set to cook for 6 quarts? Choose the setting to
match the quantity of food in the crock.
• Did you select hours based on a LOW heat recipe?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
