INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Slow
Cooker can operate at LOW all day or night if required. When cooking
on a HIGH setting, it is very much like a covered pot on the stove top.
Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time required for LOW
cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods do boil on HIGH.
To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, turn the Control Dial to the OFF position.
Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on LOW
setting.
WARM
To use the WARM setting, prepare the recipe according to instructions.
When cooking is complete, food can be kept on the WARM setting for
short periods of time.
